No, what he's saying is that Louie's -comments- about imperative programming amount to ideology.
Being a standard ideology doesn't make it less of an ideology.
Comes from the post not the comments (maybe you mean it's louie's comment about the functional programming recommendation in the main post).
He's just saying it's an ideology and importing the negative connotation (of it being bad), rather than saying why or how it's an ideology and why that's bad. Now I think you're being really stupid. I don't like repeating myself.
Yes, it's his comment about imperative languages, in the main post.
He's stating that it will invoke arguments and distract from the thrust of the point - and guess what, he's right. Look at what you're doing, right here. You're not merely involved in the holy war, you're effectively arguing, here, that the holy war is more important than the point Louie was -actually- trying to make in his post, which he distracted some users from with an entirely unnecessary-to-his-post attack on imperative programming languages.
No. "It" didn't invoke this thread, jimrandomh's fatuous comment combined with it being at the top of the comment section did (I don't care that it was a criticism of functional programming). You keep failing to understand the situation and what I'm saying, and because of this I've concluded that you're a waste of my time and so I won't be responding to you further.
It's really a pity that everyone (= the three or four people who downvoted everything you wrote in the thread) seems to have missed your point. I largely agree with your take on the situation, for what it's worth.
