> It's really unfortunate though there there are people who can't resist the urge to shame others and enlighten the world with their sharp & intelligent wit

Amusingly this has now happened in another thread in these comments.

The meaning of a post has been overshadowed by a conversation on how the author used word A when they really should have used word B, and then they were berated for trying to explain why they thought word A was acceptable in the context.



I had to go look up that quote.

He's saying he's quoted out of context now: https://twitter.com/jmhodges/status/527480854314905600

Reading the full conversation I don't know how that's the case.

Anyway, it doesn't change the point antirez is making on his post.


Ah sorry I was unclear - I was referring to an actual thread on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8526805
