I was not criticizing the bare facts exposed by gue5t (that web events are an imperfect API), I was criticizing the replacement of facts ("I think X is bad because Y, and working with it I learned it causes Z", like you do, thanks) in favor of dismissing the whole thing as "the dystopian future of 199x Netscape", which brings nothing apart being fertile ground for a flamewar.

- greenshackle2 10y agoPrefacing everything with 'I think', 'in my opinion', etc. is bad style. It weighs down the text. We already know that the writer's statements are what she thinks since she's the one making the statements. I for one prefer concise flavorful texts over hemming-and-hawing.
- ronjouch 10y agoPoint taken; would remove the "I think" if I had to rewrite this.
