I think there's too much upgrading for the sake of upgrading...
You could tell these folks to quit trying to reinvent the wheel. You'd probably get a blank look and "what's a wheel?"
This is the victory of the idea that "progressive" equals good, throwing out the old only because it is old. I could go on about how that has damaged our society....

It's what men do. What kind of sissy can't take some ball busting and starts whining "grow up"?
I think bcf often goes over the top and damages his own case, but this is just plain juvenile*...
Ball busting is having fun among people who are willing to admit their own faults. You are indeed engaging in personal attacks, which is what people do when they do not have anything effective and on point to say. The personal attack is supposed to silence the opposition because there is no good response to it. And it's juvenile.
*And saying it is juvenile, while accurate, also implies "grow up." How many adults do you hear engaged in actual discussions of ideas who do what you call "ball busting"? That is ALWAYS off the topic.
