This is quite sad to see someone react to a comment they disagree with by assuming that different opinion is paid for. I'd love it if you dug into my comment history and found even a shred of evidence that I'm being paid to talk positively about my programming language of choice.

I hope there aren't many of your type on here.

All comments are paid for in some way, even if only in "warm fuzzies". If that is sad, why are you choosing to be sad? But outlandish comments usually require greater payment to justify someone putting in the effort. If you're not being paid well, what's the motivation to post things you know don't make any sense to try and sell a brand?

Because it works. Because it does in fact make sense despite your frustration with the concept.

Right. So why did you deny it earlier?

I'm answering the part of your question about why I post about something that I find works.

Are you this dense in real life or is this an act?

Is a computer dense in real life? Does that not go without saying?

Are you under the impression that HN is some kind of intelligent animal?
