Just because work is hard and it was done doesn't mean it's above criticism.

  There's a difference between criticism and vulgar flaming. I have no problem with the former when presented constructively and with some knowledge of the subject, but the blog is engaging in the latter.

    A quick glance at Read the Fucking HIG and it's very clear what they're mocking deserve to be mocked; not a single one validates based on the HIG. Vulgarity is immature and childish but it's a tonality the Internet has adopted. You can participate or choose not to, sermonize about decency or not, but this insistence--beyond the scope of this article and RTFHIG--that everyone does things on your pace, your schedule, your needs, your preferences, on you... is just so whiny. Care less, it'll make you happier.

      > this insistence ... that everyone does things on your pace, your schedule, your needs, your preferences, on you... is just so whiny. We're talking about the "Everything that differs from the HIG is a fucking abomination" crowd here, right? </sarcasm> I value civility, pragmatics, and constructivity, and you evidently don't. I think we've reached the point where it's clear we have two fundamentally different opinions and continuing to talk past one another is pointless.
