And if you say "Leica owners are decent, hard-working people, bless
their hearts" you've also branded them as incompetent.

Of course you (and most Leica owners) are decent, and some are even 
hard-working. No slur meant.
The phrase "decent, hard-working" is often used by political demagogues 
in a context that implies "economically unsuccessful". It was in this 
context that I replied.
Apologies to all the Leica-owning decent, hardworking folk.
