I guess saying "This." didn't seem verbose enough.
Let me propose an incredibly controversial idea: Haskell isn't a better tool, it's just yet another tool. Which is aggressively promoted not so much with actual benefits, but by trying to shame people who prefer other tools by calling them dullards and telling them that they don't know what they are doing.
"This." is an abomination, a pox upon the English language, and, what's more, serves absolutely no purpose on a site with little arrows to vote for things you like.

I think this a minority but I have seen this. Generally with languages that have their roots in the more science side of things there is an air of elitism. For example quite often a venn diagram is posted which implies programs (or programmers, can't remember) not made/using type systems are worse.
