In the business, we call this an ad hominem argument.

I'm having to dig deeper for machine names.  The iMac was 
style-over-substance; this Mac mini is appeal-to-pity.

if you'd like to wade into the rhetoric, head over to 
http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6291 , where people are fighting over

Something is wrong when even lazykit is orders of magnitude faster than 
Uche's code, which is well-regarded in the Python world.  No wonder 
people think XML is bloated and slow.
