My New Mantra

My new mantra, as displayed in my WordPress 'new post' page: DO NOT INSULT THE PEOPLE YOU LIKE

My last post caused a bit of a stir, mainly because I was a bit of a jerk and quickly dismissed some folks who are, by many objective standards, actually cooler than I am. Sometimes I tend to get carried away with knocking down ideas which annoy me, and I forget that there are people and contexts behind those ideas which lend them a lot more weight and reason than I’d originally seen.

So to everyone I pissed off, I sincerely apologize. Matz is nice, so we are nice.

(I still don’t think search fits into CRUD, and I’m more than happy to haggle that one out to the bloody end.)
