Stupidity or…?

I am sure you have all heard about the blogs about CBS and Bush’s Military Record. And you know that many, if not even the majority of the blogs has their menu on the right site.
A forum I used to value (I know, I know) and read (until today) states this:
then
And as answer:
So, all those people having the menu on the right are stupid and give the wrong impression. And all those people forcing the users to scroll down are stupid.
Gee, what do those self declared experts go on my nerves!
Ever looked at pages which are nothing else then a sales letter? The majority of them has the menu at the bottom. They are stupid, right? So stupid that they sell! Go figure!
There are aesthetic reasons why a menu is at the place it is at. Historical reasons, language reasons (we are not all writing from the left to the right, right?) and many other reasons. Just going ahead and bluntly declare that as giving the “wrong impression” can give me only one impression: Insane!

A forum I used to value (I know, I know) and read (until today) states this:

Rules are made to be broken.
And as answer:
As far as web-design goes, rules are meant to be broken only if you want to look like you don’t know what you’re doing.
This forum was created for people who are seeking for PROFESSIONAL WEB-DESIGN advice. And there are some standards and rules that shouldn’t be broken if you want to create the right impression.
Wow!

Dear “PROFESSIONAL WEB-DESIGNERS” lighten up!

Do you also try to tell us that tables are a good thing? Where and when do you end?
And since when are rules the law?
