Personally, I don't get why Gruber is so upset. There is an option to always hide the DiggBar. Hover over the X on the right and click the down arrow. Then there's a link that sets a cookie so you never see it again.
To me, he just sounds like a grumpy old man. The thing is useful, simple, and non-intrusive if you don't want to see it. No need to get profane about it...
- erlanger 18y agoIt goes against the grain of the web, that's why. Sites that connect so many users to so much content should not do that.
- dave_au 18y agoHe's not worried about it on the client side. He's worried about it from the server side. As was really, really clear from reading the article. Might shed some light on the downmods.
- sho 18y agoAlthough your comment is all kinds of wrong, it's the bit about being "profane" which really gets my goat. I mean, seriously. It is 2009. We are all adults. Are you honestly telling me you are offended, even in the slightest, by hearing the word "fuck"? If so - you got problems. Swear words are part of the language. Whether one uses them or not depends on the circumstance - inopportune or over-use gets you marked down as lacking class or civility, warranted use is justified and commendable. This is the latter IMO. I personally applaud Gruber telling Digg to "go fuck yourself". That's exactly what I thought, too, and they deserve nothing better. By trying to label and dismiss his justifiable reaction as "profane", though, you sound not only self-righteous, but as if you are attempting to discredit his argument using moral labels - like someone who is "profane" doesn't merit hearing out. Well, if that's what you think, you can go fuck yourself, too.
- timdorr 18y agoI don't have a problem with profanity, but I think it's over the top here. It's meant to be a severe response to a severe offense. I don't think this warrants that. If we use it too much, it loses its punch. I want my "fuck"s to still mean something! It's becoming an adjective, which means my anger becomes subdued.
