I'm tired of people who throw generic garbage on other people's opinions without any explanation. If you have to pretend like you know who other people are and what they've done, you're literally making up evidence for an ad hominem argument against a stranger.

If you weren't full of it, you'd defend your position rather than wasting your time denigrating strangers. Even worse, smart people are going to reply to you in order to make your argument for you. So then people to try to have a real discussion within this poisonous context. All over the internet, over and over again.



valid point, and to be honest i'm tired of reading the same argument over and over about utility classes and having to write out my "defense" over and over, sometimes it's easier to be snarky.

to be fair, his initial point didn't make any sense to me and was also of the same flavor of assuming something about people (equating utility classes with people not knowing CSS) and prompted my knee-jerk response. i clarified my point to him in a later reply. seems we did have a fine discussion?

but thanks for assuming that i'm full of it lol. ironic in a way that you'd criticize me while throwing the exact same ad hominem when you literally also know nothing about me.
