My apologies - can you give me the edit capability to go in and tone that down then? Or maybe the ability to delete a comment that turned out to be controversial? If you are a mod - feel free to delete this thread as many people in other parts of the post are echoing my sentiments, some with equally as harsh language (which you are not singling out). That lib is technologically irresponsible to use and breaks user experience for a lot of people - I was trying to put a very clear warning out there and decided to be honest in my choice of words which many people have actually defended in this conversation.

Sure, I've marked your GP comment editable. If you could let us know at hn@ycombinator.com when you've finished editing it, that would be helpful. We can't come close to reading all the comments on HN, so inevitably we miss ones that are as bad or worse as the ones we reply to. If you notice bad comments that haven't been moderated, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. Please flag them (as described in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), since that helps bring them to our attention. You can also email links to hn@ycombinator.com in egregious cases.
