To be fair, he did later acknowledge his error.
I wonder if you realize how beautiful your first three words are.
"To be fair".
I don't even need you to point out that I was the first to solve the
problem. Maybe I wasn't, and at this time I don't want to check.
But instead, you were enough of a scientist and a human being to
correct Dweebach and to take the "wrong" side.
The side of the "troll".
You were man enough at least for a moment to let truth in.
That is why I got into programming in the first place: managers didn't
make me cut my long hair and I could use foul language as we did back
then because my code worked, and the business majors' code failed. It
was quite a long time ago and at the time human beings of the working
class were actually allowed to use their critical reason because
companies needed software.
But now, they don't, and the result was that after the election of
Reagan, the usual crowd of back-stabbing authoritarian conformists
rushed in, and as a result you're actually sticking your neck out
saying that the Troll is right.
Keep up the good work.
(Yes, I've killfiled him; no, that doesn't a commitment never to
read anything he posts.)
