I have over the years participated on a number of communities "for smart people", and this is the case in all of them. People have their particular points of view, and when there is some evidence against what the group considers to be good they use all kinds of ad-hominem attacks. I know it is just human nature, but it is sad that people don't see these patterns occurring.
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoBe fair. Exceptional claims require exceptional evidence. They offer no evidence at all. Scepticism is healthy.

- lawnchair_larry 16y agoBrowser bugs are found in every single browser on every single platform. They're reported for free, traded privately, sold privately, given to the vendor for a bounty, used to spread malware, discovered in American corporations, discovered in Iranian corporations, and more. There is nothing exceptional here. This is business as usual. It's non-trivial, but far from exceptional.
