Skepticism is one thing, lack of civility is quite another (and I'm sorry, but calling stuff "garbage" in such an off-hand way is clearly uncivil to me, especially when shallow dismissals are expressly pointed out as a problem). See brylie's comment in this thread for how to do it right - take that, add a stronger caveat about this tool's proprietary status, in contrast to so much other stuff in this space being FLOSS, and it would make your point quite well without degrading discussion.

- grzm 8y agoI believe they’re referring to 'Michaelanjello’s comment upthread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18692801 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18692801
- mlthoughts2018 8y agoWell my comment itself was downvoted, so I don’t agree it was a focus on the original comment.
