From the previous discussion, your critics were mostly concerned about your "solution" to CSRF. As was said there, it's not a browser vulnerability. It's an application vulnerability. I agree with you that CSRF is a problem that desperately needs as much attention as SQL injection has gotten over the years, but don't get sour because your solution to block all POST requests to different domains[0] is inadequate.
Aside from the bitterness towards people pointing out inaccuracies in your previous post, this was great. Developers should be thinking about CSRF (and basic security) more!
