It's just that sentences like "There certainly seems to be a grand coalition of people who want to attack Scala" and "why is everybody attacking Scala" struck me as a bit paranoid. Sure, there are people that tried doing Scala for a week or two, hated it and in their frustration wrote an angry blog post about how much Scala sucks, and they may very well be wrong. Still, this doesn't mean that there's some grand alliance against Scala.
There is a very visible pattern of 3-5 people, both on HN and Reddit, which seem to jump onto all Scala-related and also some not Scala-related threads.
The weird things is that despite people discussing with them and trying to correct false claims, there is almost no progress visible and pretty much the same copy-and-pasted claims will appear on the next thread.
