Reasons why I do not care grammar formalism

Computational linguistics (CL) has borrowed a lot of ideas from Theoretical Linguistics (TZ). We could not have developed even a simple parser without the research results in TL. It is obviously nonsense to claim that we, computational linguists, do not care research results in TL. llowever, the researchers in TL, it seems to me, are very fond of fighlinq~ especially, those who are called Synlaclicians. They always fight with e~h other by asserting that their grammar formalisms are superior to the others'. They are oversensitive and tend to distinguish people into two groups, the ally and the enemy.
