Questioning the choice of browser platform is a perfectly valid question (for obvious reasons that I shouldn't need to get into on HN).
OP seems to agree with the sentiment, so I'm not sure why you're bothered.
- jodrellblank 7y agoAsking about the choice of browser platform out of curiosity, might be a perfectly valid question. Questioning the choice (that is, implying it's wrong), asking for whether the reason is "good" as a value judgement, stating outright that "we have to do better", is not perfectly valid. It's rude.
- mthoms 7y agoFair point(s) when taken out of context. But considering (a) I tempered that implied criticism with glowing praise for their work and (b) clarified that I wasn't targeted the criticism at them personally, it seems to me you're looking a little too hard for something to be offended about. I'm passionate about protecting the open web because I believe a modern and free democratic society literally depends on it. And yes, I know that sounds quite dramatic, but I believe it wholeheartedly.
