   if one wishes to deride Emacs, then one should know how to use
   Emacs and how it works.  Yet, it is an easy matter to find
   put-downs of Emacs authored by people who clearly know little
   or nothing about it. Such put-downs are nothing but propaganda.

perhaps that is the purpose of the put-downs.  to disregard
put-downs w/o knowing their motivation is like disregarding emacs
w/o knowing it.

   weak positions

when you can see positions unfiltered by their potential to
withstand attack, you may come to appreciate variety for its own
sake.

   truly interested

what it truly something, infinity or non-zero?

   this is not done to foster an honest debate about Emacs or to
   help others with their Emacs problems, it is done out of a
   spirit of arrogance, self-promotion, and ignorance of opposing
   viewpoints.

likewise, emacs problems arise and are buried under the same
mentalities, for its caretakers are (historically) humans.
categorically ignoring "improper derision" is everyone's pasttime.
