You wrote "scoff" first before you edited it, that's why gens wrote "You can scoff all you want". From the tone of your comments, I think that's what you're really doing.
I am not British, and i did want to dramatize it a bit. In my defense, words are to convey meaning as much as to describe action. (you don't literally "beat a dead horse" or "fart in your general direction")
EDIT: In bluejekyll's defense, we here are a bit chafed (hehe) by extreme fans of certain programming languages (IMO even some functional programming fans get a tad too.. unrealistic in their talks)
