Firefox passive-aggressives adjudicate Nerd Law
- xiaoma 17y agoI usually like the Register, but this article was pretty caustic. Not only was it irrationally biased against Adblock, and the user for that matter, but it made sweeping attacks against introverts and geeks in general.
- dkarl 17y agoAlso, the article makes it sound like these guys never communicated at all, but weren't efforts made to settle the dispute privately? It seems like the article went to great lengths to make everyone involved look silly, when in fact the only real silliness would be the hundreds of users and even non-users who developed a passionate interest. So nerds waste time on gossip and politics. So teenagers are idealistic and think every little thing is the end of the world. So public opinion of the silliest kind may influence the opinions of Supposedly Serious People. So what? Doesn't that mean nerds are just like everyone else?
