Am I/are we assholes? I posted a link to the frequentist stats case study to reddit:

The only commenter seems to have come to a conclusion from us that Bayesians are assholes.

Is it just that commenter, or are we really that obnoxious? (now that I think about it, I think I've actually seen someone else note something similar about Bayesians.) So... have we gone into happy death spiral "we get bonus points for acting extra obnoxious about those that are not us"?
