> The website though? Unlike a coworker, I never have to see a website more than once. A coworker saying that directly to me sounds like an attack on my character and my ability to write code. A website published for everyone to see is just a critique of code.
> Finally, I can close a website, turn off my computer, and take a walk after being offended (as I do often). I cannot do the same with a coworker. Knowing I can't avoid or dismiss a person like that means that I have to confront them. And that ends really, really poorly.
> The idea of code sucking more or less is totally subjective. That website is purely opinion. I like to use dwm on my Desktop computer because it's really lightweight and easy to set up. Others prefer a shinier and less confusing system like GNOME Shell or something.*
This misses the point. Be it in real life, or on a website, "Suckless" is just, subjectively, very negative, and I pointed it out. Obviously not everybody thinks it is, and that's fine.
> And you are choosing to be offended by the idea that someone out there in the world thinks someone else's code sucks.
Offended might be a bit of a strong term, that I did not use. I did, however, say that I think the domain name and motto are poorly chosen.
> It seems like you just have a personal vendetta against suckless
Not at all. And although I've never tried their software, I'm sure it's great.
> and it seems you fully understand that and choose to make HN your soapbox regardless of whether or not it is on topic.
I believe HN is a place to express opinions, constructive criticism. I don't think my comment falls out of that scope.
It so happens that the first link on that website pointed to a website whose domain name stuck out for me. I then just stated my opinion about what I read on said website.
> Someone came up with a cool idea, and you nitpick on something so miniscule (sic) it's incredible, rather than discussing the pros and cons of the concepts themselves.
Whether or not this is a cool idea (which I think it is) has nothing to do with my first comment. I even specified my comment was not directly related to Morpheus Linux.
> That's why you're getting downvotes.
Let it be said that I was merely pointing out the lack of arguments from down votes. I'm glad you took the time adding a comment.
> I don't really understand your position.
That's ok, someone's always wrong on the internet.
