He made it pretty clear it was self-depreciative humour. If this blog post actually offended you, instead of merely making you think that others might be offended, then I suggest that you lighten up a bit.
- jrockway 16y agoI'm offended by such bad writing.
- sorbus 16y agoUnprofessional and bad aren't the same thing.
- sp4rki 16y agoAnd I'm offended by your general lack of humor and dismissal of the merits of the article (which I did not find that enjoyable) based on something so trivial. I used to think that commenting on HN could not hurt your career, but the smug attitude you displayed (ie: your answer towards nowarninglabel) could be an indication that I'm wrong. C'est la vie.
- burgerbrain 16y agoRemember, you can't give offence, you can only take it. If you are offended by something, you have nobody but yourself to blame.
- hugh3 16y agoThat's a fairly silly attitude to take. Once can quite easily (common English idioms aside) give offence. One can't go around being gratuitously offensive to people and then blaming them for being offended. That's called "being a dick". In this particular case, though, one would have to be extremely thin-skinned to be offended.
- burgerbrain 16y agoNobody but you can be or should be responsible for your emotions. It is entirely up to you how you respond to somebody "being a dick", not to mention that's a completely subjective thing in the first place.
