I dont think you read the post close enough.
I am against the use of metal bats because the ball flies off the bat at unnatural speed and distorts the game.
I dont like that.
You can use whatever inflammatory words you want to argue for it or against it - and you can do the same in your description of people who take either side as well.
But here is a fact that is neither conjecture nor perception.
Regardless of what any self-interested metal bat manufacturer - or their representatives tell you - the ball comes off the bat faster than it does off a wood bat.
