Comment on An easier way of using polyfillsparent

Comments

It's not very productive to talk down to people, even if it's satisfying to you. There's a better way: http://xkcd.com/1053/

Talking down? I was replying to the parent's "I don't know what this is and I DON'T CARE" comment.

If you don't care, you can always not comment.

If you do care, Google is a keyboard shortcut away, and it's up to you to get informed, not to harass the post autors about not including a terminology section.

How about "I don't know what side-effects are and I don't care" posted for every Haskell post? Or "I don't know what functions are"? Where does this BS ends?

Sorry, I just recoil against phrases like "x is not for you."

You seem to view this individual commenter as a sea of uncaring people, but it's just one person. Change their mind, and their contribution to the "BS" does end.

Even if a response like yours seems deserved, it's not very productive. It certainly doesn't help someone to care more.
