FWIW, I've been in the Clojure community for a few years and see almost zero FUD about Common Lisp. The atmosphere in the Clojure community is much more about pragmatism than zealotry.

Mostly, I see a healthy respect for other Lisps and a recognition that learning from traditions is a good way to build good things for the future.

Being in the Clojure myself, I'd say the aforementioned "healthy respect" and "pragmatism" come from the fact that we all probably have migrated through at least a few languages before ending up at Clojure, which gives us a sense of perspective that keeps most of the zeal away.
