No ad hominems on my part.  I said nothing about you or your abilities. 
  I spoke only of programmers I have known, both good and poor.

The the good programmers are able to adapt to the language and make the 
most of whatever language they're using.  The result is good code. 
OTOH, poor programmers I have known have found all kinds of excuses - 
from the language itself to lack of requirements, to anything else they 
can blame, except the real root of the problem.

If you take exception to that, then I'm sorry for you.
