It's the same way in the knitting vs. crocheting wars. Now, I consider myself mainly a crocheter, so it's not pro-knitting bias saying this, but in any thread where someone talks about being insulted for being a crocheter and not a knitter, 5% of responses will be from knitters saying how horrible that is, we're all yarnies together, and then 95% will be other crocheters talking about how the whole craft world is against them, pulling stats and anecdata out of their collective arses to make knitting vs. crocheting a matter of class warfare and racism.

I swear to Hera I am not making that up.
