  5 or 6 different languages? Really?

  You started by making a reference to "unsafe languages" within the subject
of modular programming as a reply to one of my posts (clearly as a reference
to C++), and later you said that C++ is the *only* unsafe OO language you
know of. After that you have been done nothing else than arguing why
modularity in C++ is broken and why Lisp, Java and C# are so great.

  It was certainly not me who brought up C++ into the conversation.

  Yeah, sure. You really have been pointing out problems in "5 or 6 different
languages", and I'm just being paranoid that you are concentrating a little
too much on C++.

  Every time? When was the last time?

  You explicitly wrote that C++ is the only unsafe OO language you know of.
You have been writing specifically about C++, not about "unsafe languages
in general".

  And it's getting really tiresome and old that you act all innocent after
a tirade of C++ bashing, saying that "I just wanted a serious discussion
and honestly wanted to know more", when it's rather clear that you didn't
really.

  It's also getting tiresome that every time I criticize some other language
you immediately assume I'm defending C++. For example, if I call some other
language "kludgey", you immediately assumed that I'm claiming that C++ is
not, even though I never said anything of the sorts. And of course you
immediately jumped to the opportunity of starting bashing.
