I think they have a facade they
want to maintain across the whole of the posts there.

Or alternatively, they're fed up of you repeating over and over again
that templates are bad, evil and wrong. It seemed very noticeable that
*no-one* else even remotely took your side.

It was the opposite actually: they were trying to sell me on C++ templates
when I have no use for them. I was just responding the hard sell. The
original topic was about using templates. I really don't care which kind
of templates. The topic can be had without the tangent of "my templates
are better than your templates".

I didn't realize there were "sides".
