"JavaScript: The Good Parts", You Owe Me An Apology

I stopped reading here:

> Douglas can explain to me why he keeps writing about object users as "attackers" and "tamperers". Maybe it's a reflection of childhood trauma that manifests itself as a pathological distrust that he's struggling to overcome.

The OP does not understand what he is talking about, as far as I know Crockford's prototype overrides were done in a safe way, they were conditionally, in modern browsers you probably have them anyway.

Also if you develop web applications you always have to assume that people will want to hack you.

Well, I did think the book is a bit whiny, but not quite to the point of the strong language.
