Is this kind of thing really necessary? OK, you don't like them, we get it. But language like this does nothing to elevate the tone of the discussion. Sorry to nitpick on what may well be a valid point (I don't follow either of their writing enough to know), but come on - why not just to be a bit more civil?
- thrownaway2424 13y agoThis discussion was already beyond redemption. I'm just playing down to its level. If you want to have a serious discussion about this Google product feature, let's start. These two clowns excerpting each others' fact-free rants hasn't started that discussion.
- jrockway 13y agoMarco knows his audience. If his goal was to publish a blog post that made it to the top of HN, he succeeded.
- SmileyKeith 13y agoThat is never his goal.
- pedalpete 13y agoI was almost upvoting this due to the use of creative language, but you're right. Best not to promote this sort of behaviour before all of HN descents into clever cursing.
- balladeer 13y agoWell, I am new to the (HN) scene here. I agree the language was uncalled for but I've followed these two (bloggers) in the past. And trust me on this, original commenter (OC) is spot on. These two bloggers (and the elk) unabashedly post in this disgusting manner, all the time - so much that me and many people suspect, from time to time, they are on Apple's payroll. It's like a blind fanaticism, one which doesn't retain even basic logic and self respect. It's not "Apple does right", but they rather like "It's only Apple that does it right". It goes beyond fanboyism. Maybe OC should have tried harder looking for civilised words to convey his emotions.

- jonhendry 13y ago"unabashedly post in this disgusting manner," What, "mildly critical of Google"? Dude, get some perspective. Are you 12?
- balladeer 13y agoEnjoy your day. Life is short.
- Mikeb85 13y agoI personally think the language is fitting, given the language and vitriol in the OP...
- krakensden 13y agoI for one enjoyed the coinage. Fucknozzlery is a wonderfully verbal word.
