Perhaps you are being shutdown because you are combining your criticism with condescension and personal attacks? Like deciding that people were being &quot;dishonest&quot; because they don&#x27;t agree with you and argue for their opinion? Or levying insults against CS and math PhDs?<p>I haven&#x27;t done enough Haskell to be part of the community (and to have bought into whatever hostile groupthink you think surrounds it), but I down-voted you just the same for being a complete jerk.
