Author of the post here. Sorry to offend you. Certainly wasn't trying to be an ass. But when you write tons and tons of programming tutorials, sometimes it's fun to introduce a little humor, otherwise it becomes extremely dull. If anything, the introduction simply pointed out the consumerism flaws related to Black Friday. I didn't mean to single out a group of people.
- CJefferson 12y agoI find a good guide is to rewrite insults to aim at you, and your expected readers. If you don't want to do that, you probably shouldn't have put them in.
- zionsrogue 12y agoSomething to keep in mind for the next time.
- stronglikedan 12y agoFor what it's worth, I found the quip to be funny. I also found it to be appropriate in the context, as anyone who has braved the Black Friday crowd would (only once - lesson learned). But then again, I'm also one of those old curmudgeons who think that everybody gets their panties in a twist way to easily these days.
- kjs3 12y agoTranslation: I've spent my life freely and casually belittling people I see as beneath me, and am annoyed that these uppity women and minorities are feeling empowered enough to call me out on it. They should all mind their place. Being a privileged white male isn't what it used to be.
- stronglikedan 12y agoWhy would you think anyone else is beneath you? I'm sorry that you feel privileged in some way because you are white, but everyone is created equal, regardless of race. You'll be a happier person if you live and let live, instead of letting people annoy you so easily.
