+When I said "Scala is garbage" or "Gerrit is a mistake", it wasn't "l33th4x0r"
+who said that; it was Julio Biason. 'Cause I do believe that putting your face
+to be slapped is the way we grow.
+
+<!-- more -->
+
+I do understand -- and you must have realized reading some of the previous
+points when I talk about it -- that privacy is important. For some people,
+hiding their real name is important for lots of reasons.
+
+But I also personally believe that using some weird name and some face that
+isn't yours on your avatar may give you a false sense of "that person is the
+guilty one, not me" when it comes to criticism.
+
+I mean, yes, I hate Scala with a passion. I do understand _why_ the language
+developers decided to come with some options about it, and I still think those
+decisions were stupid and you should never sacrifice readability for
+ease-to-use.
+
+But it wasn't some random person using a weird name full of numbers and an
+avatar of some anime saying Scala is garbage. My name is even in this blog
+name, in the URL and in every social network I use there is a picture of me.
+
+So yeah, Julio said Scala is garbage.
+
+There is another thing about using your real name and real face: I'm not just
+saying "Scala is garbage", I have to back that up with some facts -- or, in
+this case, personal opinions -- about it. It's not simply an attack to Scala,
+is a somewhat thought out attack on Scala.
+
+And, on top of that, someone will one day come to me and say "Yeah Julio, that
+thing you said about Scala: It is that way because of this, this and this".
+And I'll probably have to say "You know, you're right: I was wrong." Because I
+can't simply move my mistake to some other personality; who was wrong was
+_me_. And unless I own my shit up, I'd never get the understanding I'd need to
+see my mistake about Scala in the first place.
