Minimally, I don't find this an unusual tone in the slightest for cs threads. But then again, I'm old. I'm also quite surprised that apparently you cannot utter what is clearly just a personal opinion -- not a claim of object

Admittedly, his handling of this aspect was perhaps less than ideal, but I cannot see any impoliteness here whatsoever. As a matter of fact, I struggle to think how you could think otherwise. But I am biased. After having lived a number of

I just read that whole thread and I think the author made the mistake of submitting a 13k loc PR, but other than that - while he gets downvoted to hell on every comment - he's actually acting professionally and politely. I wouldn'
