From Rick: “I am encouraging mutual respect and a
dialogue to keep the possibility for progress alive. Frozen
hatred is not in the best interests of the Java developer community.”

“I want it to be explicitly clear that I am NOT advocating any Java developer
to abandon Java. I am only saying that we should consider, as a community,
treating our peer developers in the Microsoft world and
elsewhere with more respect and
open-mindedness.”

Nothing to add. You said everything Rick !!!
