Well, to the best of my knowledge Capewell and Klausler aren't actively involved in layouts these days and Capewell hasn't finished his project. Furthermore, none of their layouts have a substantial number of users even compared with little Colemak. Correct me if I'm wrong. So if they don't have a community of users and don't have themselves actively supporting their layouts, who's to run around telling anyone anything?
More to the point, why shouldn't we be enthusiastic? It's as Samurai says. I've found a great thing, I care about it, I feel like chatting about it on its' own forums with all the enthusiasm I'm feeling. If that puts you off, well, too bad and frankly I feel like saying shame on you for being so petty about things.
Reading web fora is completely optional. This is the down-to-earth one in my portfolio. If you think it is too strong, then I wonder what you think about most of the internet?
And no, no Colemak user I can think of would be saying anything even remotely along the vein of "Use Colemak or you will be damned for eternity!" (unless in a clearly jesting context). On the contrary, I'm pleased to see that users of other layouts are met with rational and calm argument and quite often told that they may be perfectly happy staying with the layout they're presently using - especially if it's an improved one like Dvorak/Capewell/Arensito etcetera. If I'm wrong and you're not fighting straw men here, please show me a quote illustrating your claim.
If anyone has come through as too strong here, I'd suggest it is you SpeedMorph.
