I would add that it is a mistake to judge a community of users based on a single forum. For example, many have complained about comp.lang.lisp and it is often viewed as being the lisp community. In reality, it is only a very small representation of lisp users from a single forum. There are many other lisp forums with varying levels of acceptance, hostility, dogma, experience, cynicism etc.
I think it's almost universally a mistake to judge anything by usenet news, not just CLL. Newsgroups have always been odd and fierce places, and (without evidence) I think usenet must be close to dead as a discussion forum (as opposed to a media distribution mechanism where it seems to be thriving).
