Again, I think you're focused on this one instance and the GP was saying "if this guy chose this approach, countless more people are making similar decisions", which as a trend in the long run could make it bad "for everyone" (himself and others) You may or may not disagree, but it's arguably a worthwhile comment. Possibly more so than your comment on the merits of someone else's comment... which just derails the conversation into this meta-discussion > And why exactly is it yours or other commenter’s problem what people choose to do with their own time? How does it in any way shape or form impact you what this other person chose to do with their project that you will never maintain, contribute to, or likely even use? Critiquing technology referenced in submitted posts is what we do for fun around here...
