Really, you're shocked at a hostile reaction when you accuse someone of "false bravado and chest- and/or drum-beating" in a post dripping with condescension? If you're going to dish it out...
I don't think silverstorms aim was to offend, rather he was trying to explain an interesting phenomenon and perhaps accidentally offended. jdunlop's statement, on the other hand seemed designed to offend.
I consider one an accusation and one more of an attack, but you are correct, I was being condescending (I grow oh-so-tired of those posts) If they really are equal I suppose I shall rest.
Grow up or GTFO, HN is a place for adults. If someone is impolite, your response shouldn't be a trollish immature response.
If your life is so grossly devastated by a google action then you're an idiot. All my data on google is backed up multiple times, because I'm a responsible adult and want to ensure the safety of my data. I don't trust google simply because it's google. They're a mega corp that's going to ditch you, screw you and abuse you for a penny if they can.
As I said, it's time for people to grow up or get out.
