It's pretty bad faith to post an inflammatory comment, initially with several errors like referring to the Ref<> stuct instead of Rc<>, add edits to complain about downvotes, and then steadily edit it to be more correct and reasonable while leaving in the complaints about downvotes. Leaving the impression that it was the current iteration that attracted the downvotes because "the truth hurts".

It suggests to me you know as well as we do that the downvotes were about snarkily expressing your views while making mistakes that might suggest you aren't all that familiar with rust in the first place, and not that you're expressing "forbidden thoughts."

There is value in having unsafe parts of a program clearly annotated (not just with comments). It is similar to how in some languages you annotate pure functions and they do not compile unless they are pure.
