That's great for you that you don't take offense to the comments, but you shouldn't belittle the fact that I do. I've taken many deep breaths about this, and I'm trying to vocalize my feelings about an issue I see here all the time.
Obviously you're right in what you said, but I definitely do not see it falling under Hanlon's Razor and I definitely don't think everyone (or even most) people who bash PHP see it the way you do.

I'm sorry that I offended you, that was certainly not my intention. I'm puzzled as to how that got through, I thought I was careful in my tone. Fair enough.

I said "expanded Hanlon's Razor" - meaning that I've found that many more things get misattributed as malice. In this case, the bad PHP dev meme[1] has permeated or sub-culture. That has happened already. It is done. Can't undo it. Can't take it back.
If you attribute usage of that meme to malice every time, and escalate it into bigotry in your head, you're "going to have a bad time" [sic]
I see where you're coming from, but calling discrimination & bigotry is one step too far in the opposite direction.
[1] And again, yes it is a bad meme, but it is actually about one-trick-pony noob devs. Not you, not me. Keep that in mind.
