OK, I understand now.

But I think it's true for all popular programming languages, not only Python.
And it's not only for programming languages.  I can see many too-defensive
people on Twitter.
Honestly speaking, I'm too defensive sometimes, too.

Anyway, I feel "Cult-like behavior" in mail subject was misleading
when discussing about byte-transparent string vs unicode string.

Such powerful words may make people more defensive, and
heat non productive discussion.

(I know it's not you start using "cult-like behavior" in subject.
I don't blame anyone.  I just want share I noticed.)
