>Why in the world i'm being downvoted?

I imagine it's because we find your attempts to correlate maintence of the plugin repository by jQuery's shepards and the quality of plugins developed by independent people illogical.

where did i write that? I said that that EXTERNAL plugins can get unmaintained at any point and "vanish" from web - or start getting incompatible with future jquery releases. Which seems perfectly logical to me and it happened before many times.

Your comments weren't about being wary of using random third party plugins that are likely to go unmaintained. I assume that everyone looks out and is cautious of that, as I do. I presume for example that when searching for django social-auth apps, a high priority in making a choice is the activity and last commit timestamp.

Your two comments above just seem to link the plugin repo to hating on jquery in general, which I don't really understand.

(for example, the top comment in this thread is basically "be wary of third party javascript", but it's actually phrased that way and it's been much better received)

you took random parts of my bigger statement and try to prove your point. Keep your silly accusation of "hate" to yourself. And no - not everyone does like you do, it takes someone very arrogant or just young and naive to assume "that others do as i do". Hey i always make backups - hence what happned with them never took place (you see how stupid this logic is) - and yes i agree you do not understand what i wrote, maybe you will one day. For now i dont feel like discussing this further with someone who makes his own conclusions, puts them in my mouth and acts like i said something offending. so EOT from me

PS. Read my first comment two or three times IN FULL. Then maybe you will get the message i tried to carry over. Reading text with understanding is a very valued skill.

You're kind of being a jackass. You point blank used this scenario to dog on jQuery and say you would "never touch it" and went so far as to say you'd use a more robust one. You're really going to act like I'm mischaracterizing what you said?

And you're really going to tell me I'm being "young and naive" because I expect that others probably watch out for whether they're using a maintained project or abandonware?

You need to lose the attitude. I didn't even downvote your comments but I wish I could downvote this last one. Probably the rudest reply I've ever received here. It's not as if you're new here. I keep coming back to this and reading it in shock. I can't believe you're being this delusional, accusatory and flat out rude towards me. Someone pissed in your Post Toasties this morning.

I don't even have a point I'm trying to prove here. I couldn't care less if you like/use or dislike/avoid jQuery.

OK i'll try to explain this as clearly(and politely) as i can:

> This is the reason i'm not touching jquery

I'm using something else because of external plugin situation for jquery in general.

> everything beyond jquery and jqueryUI

Where do i attack jquery project? "You point blank used this scenario to dog " WHERE ?

> should be untrusted to a degree.

It means you should be extra careful what third party code (beyond jquery maintained projects) you choose.

> "went so far as to say you'd use a more robust one."

Oh so now it's in bad tone to provide alternatives to your favourite framework? Seriously we are not supposed to speak of other software here?

> "You're really going to act like I'm mischaracterizing what you said"

Yes, seriously in my eyes you do exactly that - that's why you got harsh replies. I might have to live with jackass tag, but It is my right to not agree to change my words to something else.

Can we move to something else, it's not like we are contributing to topic anymore.

I already quoted you on these points. Direct quotes. That don't change their meanings even in context.

>Can we move to something else, it's not like we are contributing to topic anymore.

Thanks White Knight. You're the champion of usefulness in this thread.
