It's not that you belittle it. It's the frequency with which you do it,
and the situations where you do it.
Just count your posts belittling eg. COBOL and the onces belittling C or
C++. I bet the difference is something like two orders of magnitude.
Also, in this particular case, what was the point? It did not add anything
relevant or interesting to the thread, nor did it answer the original
question.
I hate Java. Do you see me taking every opportunity to bash it?
I sometimes do it, but I don't remember doing it at every possible
opportunity.

Perhaps because it was a relevant answer to a presented question?

How many times has that happened, exactly?
