I think profanity does has a place in the English language, but I found this article childish from the start.
I also agree that web sites should be simple, but this reads like it was written by a 6th-grader.
- Houshalter 13y agoIt clearly wasn't meant to come off formal at all.
- phaus 13y agoI agree. I never mentioned formality. I just happen to think that it was poorly written, even by the standards of informal writing.
- tommorris 13y agoWhat's wrong with childish? If someone is responding to an inherently childish concept ("I know, let's write all our websites with 150Mb of JavaScript rather than using HTML simply and straight-forwardly like it was designed to be used"), sometimes a childishly obscene response is the only appropriate response.
- phaus 13y agoIts not an effective way to frame an argument. Claiming that it is an appropriate response is basically saying that people who write overly complicated websites are so stupid that they cannot understand a reasonable, adult conversation. This is just plain ridiculous. The majority of people who write bloated websites are probably very smart individuals who just need to learn more about design.
