[wcip]Angel pretty much outlined why it is.
Yes, it is specifically against CS, but, as alluded to, more against the community that plays it fanatically than the modification itself.
Personally, aside from all the "n00b l4m3rz", I don't have a liking towards Counter Strike because it holds a middle ground between fast-paced action and tactical strategy that is too compromized to be fun as either. It's not quite Quake, and no where near Rainbow Six, and as far as I'm concerned, the middle ground isn't good enough.
On a related tangent, we consider outselves to be computing rather than computerer science. Infact, some profs will spend a good portion of their first lecture making the disctinction known to first-year students. Our focus is more on the underlying theories of computing rather than the techonolgy of computers. It is -- at least from the impression I get -- more important for students in the program, to understand why and how a piece of software works rather than creating it.
