this: > I can still blame the author for the arguments on here when they saw the existing discourse and decided to write follow up pieces of equally antagonistic tones. seems very victim blaming to me. Amos’ articles are opinionated, well written & amusing rants. If a bunch of immature Go programmers can’t take a spot of criticism directed at their favourite language then that says a lot more about them than it does about anyone else.

  In this context the victim is Amos who was getting DDOSed, apparently in response to his critical articles about Go.
