It wasn't meant to be an attack. The point was that I felt Alecco was being overly harsh, if not in this particular post, in others on that thread. I didn't dig through their history for a rock to sling, but they mentioned it elsewhere in the same thread. I don't have a dog in this fight regarding the article. It isn't an opinion I particularly agree or disagree with. I have no affiliation to the author, to the blog, or to any of the individuals I've remarked in this thread. I also like jQuery, so if anything, I'm arguing from the same bias as Alecco, in that I think it is a very high quality open source implementation of an amazing JS framework. I even read through the article multiple times to seek out the jQuery bashing Alecco alleges. I can't find it. At first, I thought it was a popular opinion, until I realized that each of the remarks I believed to be overly negative were from the same person. There wasn't any malice intended except to say "Hey, lighten up. People are allowed to make mistakes." One of the tenets I believe is core to Hacker News working is the assumption of good faith. I don't believe that Alecco was deliberately trying to malign the author, but the statements certainly come off as though they did not assume good faith. I have tried to do so here, as in my original comment, but I do not believe you have extended me the same courtesy. In the interest of promoting civility, I'll disregard your final remark, except to say that English is also not my first language.
