Doug "cheddar cheese" Holton (who has a long history of posting 
seriously confused and/or abusive stuff under a number of aliases) is
a developer of a "competing" language named Boo.

I suppose that in his view, language advocacy is a zero-sum game, so 
positive comments about Python can be considered as FUD against his own 
project.  He's even invented his own del.icio.us tag for this purpose:
