Perhaps you are too huffed up on your own farts (whatever that means) to realize this just isn’t for you, but for some reason, is living rent free in your head.

  I think you're right, but I think you're getting down-voted because 1: the phrasing was crass, and 2: this is a forum filled with developers, all obsessive with whatever language that they're playing with. I absolutely agree that it's a red flag generally when something says "This is X, written in Y!" -- to me it's usually a sign that the software project at hand is looking for developers, or it's trying to appeal to developers -- which is usually code for "undocumented, difficult to use, unsupported otherwise." as far as the user themselves are concerned. It's typical that a piece of software drops the language comments once it reaches a certain size threshold. The scope changes, it's no longer about loving C; it's about capturing market share. If it so happens that it hits market popularity it becomes 'This is X!'. But.. like you said , I think that it's a sign of something else regarding the project.

    I disagree. The downvotes and flags are (in my mind) because the behaviour, both in tone and content, at display leads to utterly boring discussions. I am confident that the user can do better and I expect them to do better when expressing their point of view. Your comment being an excellent example of how one can remain civilised, not poison the discussion, and still get pretty much the same point across.

      Who are you to say that I cannot speak passionately? Who are you to expect "better" of me? If you do not like something, you are free to ignore it. If you cannot respond to something level-headedly, then don't. It's not my responsibility to present my opinions in a way you find pleasing.

        Like it or not, but you are a part of a community here and there are both implicit and explicit rules that come with it. While I can only speak for myself, clearly you can see that plenty of other members took issue with your behaviour. Maybe they are all in the wrong? Maybe they are not? Maybe the truth lies somewhere in-between? It is ultimately up to us as individuals to decide when we make the decision to partake or not in any community. Your comment history clearly shows that you have plenty of interesting things to say and contribute. It would (to me) be a pity if you decided to die on this (to me) weird, individualistic, "my way or the highway" hill rather than make minor adjustments. Still, that is, of course, your choice. Regardless, I will move on to other threads at this point.

        The lack of self awareness embodied in this comment is amazing.
