While you may or may not agree with his opinion or the way he worded it, a personal attack on him is really unwarranted (besides, I don't even get what's that bad about his job description?!).
I think we can all agree that it is nicer to have an atmosphere where you can share your opinion without your work being attacked by strangers.
- rosser 10y agoThe top comment in this thread made as much a dismissal and attack of the lifestyle described in the fine article, as your comment's parent was on the platform the top comment's author makes a living supporting. That is, it is equally legitimate — or illegitimate — for someone to call another person's lifestyle "positively abominable" as it is for a third person to be all, "Eww, WordPress," at the first. In fact, I'm pretty sure highlighting that fact was the point of that comment.
- RodericDay 10y agoIt's very interesting how people apply very different standards for the in-group and the out-group. A Hackernewser making fun of a blog writer is fine, but a hackernewser making fun of another hackernewser is extremely impolite. I fully agree that that was the point of that comment.
