+1, downvotes should be used quite sparingly, but are given out copiously here. I often hesitate to write or reply when the risk of offending is so high. Makes for a lousy experience.

Re: your comment, I'd say a friendlier way to characterize it is that QA isn't free, and so we choose our battles accordingly.

Why do you care?

Belay that.

Stop worrying about it, or at least stop talking about it.

It's a big world. There will always be plenty of people who don't like whatever you say so that's simply not worth worrying about.

Yeah, this is why I quit commenting on HN, because fanboys will always downvote without reason.

Yes but in the world people don't take offense at bland statements and smack you upside the head as they walk by. I'd like not to care, but am not a sociopath.
