How my position is lazy? By not learning Functional Programming? I openly said that I was driven away by these very people, because I don't want to be part of a community who belittles the outsiders the moment they talked.
I mean, most (not all) functional programmers I met (for the last 20 years, no less!) started to praise functional programming by bashing imperative programming languages and never asked me about what I like about programming, and why I was so adamant to stay away from functional paradigm.
When you start selling what you like as an omnipotent silver bullet without listening to what the other party is saying, or by calling the other party lazy and the root of the problem you drive away people from the thing you are selling,
like you're doing right now.
Extra points for you for doing this, even after I have politely said that I have left that beef behind and trying to find the time to learn functional programming, and PLT in depth. Chef's kiss, actually.

No, your position is lazy by asserting that most people who do functional programming are arrogant. This is a nonsensical value judgement. You don't know most functional programmers.
I don't know whether or not you're skilled FP. I don't know you. But as is appropriate, I assumed that you do actually know what you're talking about.
