My goodness. Why is this such a hot button topic? 
I'm heading to the drummers room. Drummers don't bother with transposing...
I think it is a serious topic for several reasons
lets look at some of them
elitist/commandos
this group has worked hard to develop their multi key facility and rue the day that musicians who can only play in one key can garner the same attention and praise they do
after all they went to the such and such music school or whatever
they look down their nose at anyone who has chosen to take the easy road out
concerned musicians
some musicians like t-block and maybe even myself
feel that it is important to have all key facility
for the musician and for the ministry to flourish
insecure musicians
if you are one of these than you know in your heart you have been skating you know when you go to a new church to perform you are hoping they have a keyboard
or you are forced to bring yours along becuase you have mastered the transpose button
you cringe when you see a piano or a hammond
haters
these are cats that just dont like to see others ahead of them
if they cant play in all keys they dont like having their face rubbed in it
if they do play in all keys they hate to see someone who cant get paid for their talent or lack there of
there are probably other categories but I cannot think of any right now
