more zealotry needed in coldfusion

I hear the word zealotry used and for me it has a negative connotation. It has been brought up lately usually around something perceived as new but that doesn't mean something old could have zealotry.

I would like to see more zealotry in ColdFusion.

I thought it would be nice to break-down the definition of "zealotry" using dictionary.reference.com.

• zeal·ot·ry - undue or excessive zeal; fanaticism.
• un·due
  • unwarranted; excessive: undue haste.
  • inappropriate; unjustifiable; improper: undue influence.
• ex·ces·sive - going beyond the usual, necessary, or proper limit or degree; characterized by excess.
• zeal - fervor for a person, cause, or object; eager desire or endeavor; enthusiastic diligence; ardor.

With this break-down, my preceived negatives are "excessive" and "undo". Undue could be negative for me since it is "unjustifiable" but I wonder how many of the "zealotry" claims lately are truly on an unjustifiable statement. Excessive may not be negative depending on what a person considers "going beyond the usual".

• Is reading a programming book "excessive"?
• Is blogging "excessive"?
• Is presenting on a subject "excessive"?
• Is working on an open source project "excessive"?

Sadly, i would say "Yes" these are excessive. These are "going beyond the usual". Are these negative? No. Next time, when I hear zealotry used, I'll try to keep this in mind. Was the zealotry claim on some "unjustifiable" statement? In most cases, I doubt the actual instance called zealtory was "unjustifiable" so it isn't negative but a positive case of zealotry. In this post's context, I think ColdFusion needs more zealots which means "going beyond the usual" with "enthusiastic diligence" using CFML.
