I don't think anyone is trying to go to bat for Apple's graphics API policies in this thread or are corporate shills. I originally described it as a screed because of the tone, profanity, several factual inaccuracies, as well as the cutting and derogatory comments by the maintainer further down in the thread that I found unwarranted.

Sorry, it happens. :)

I own and prefer using an Apple device, but I also agree with this guy. "Fuck Apple". His rant was funny and accurate. But oh no... he hurt Apple's feelings. A fucking three trillion dollar company is going to cry itself to sleep tonight because of his mean hurtful rant on GitHub.

You're welcome to your opinion, but I contend that your opinion is part of the problem in open source. Maturity is necessary - it's not "growing complacent" to realize there are better ways to express yourself in 2020+.

Please show us these better ways, oh master, that we may follow you.

Tone policing is still lame in 2020+

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_policing

Tone policing is one of this forum's foundational rules. You're going to have a bad time here if you don't understand the utility of putting in the effort to have more civil discussions.

Tone Policing is a type of ad hominem logical fallacy, as explained in the article.

If committing ad hominem logical fallacies is one of the rules of the forum, then this forum is a waste of time.

This thread has already been a complete waste of time.

> Maturity is necessary [..] better ways to express yourself in 2020+.

Well, part of my opinion is that i disagree that trying to force a specific tone is a sign of maturity and i do not see that as a better way of expression.

It can be easier to stomach, especially to those who do not want to see the opinions discussed, but at last personally i do not consider that as better.
