I shouldn't have bitten. This is like arguing over why a Phillips screwdriver is better than a flathead with someone who particularly and angrily hates Phillips screwdrivers because he doesn't like their appearance. They're tools, bud.
I'm pulling my rip cord on this discussion based on your tone, the nearly guaranteed futility, and the complete lack of any realizable benefit in my own life of carrying on. Good evening.

- andybak 14y agoYour screwdriver analogy doesn't really apply. Language choice has ramifications beyond 'appearance' and you know it. I'm afraid I don't believe that you really don't care about your choice of tools.
- jspthrowaway2 14y agoWith every passing moment I regret replying to this thread more and more. You completely missed how my analogy works, actually, since you think I'm limiting the problem domain to appearance (I'm not; I'm characterizing someone ELSE'S displeasure). I wish the privilege to delete didn't disappear after a time, so I could wash my hands of this thread and forget that I ever spent more than ten minutes on it.
