Just my opinion, of course.

Subject: ignorance is frustrating
I want some advice here, 'cause... I'm ignorant. :)
I got the first hostile post on my blog this morning, and I'd like
opinions from the community as to whether or not I should remove it.
For now I've responded with another comment -- not that I necessarily
needed to, but I was there. :)
The blog entry is here:

Sorry for the line wrap.
In addition to anonymously posting hostile comments which seem to
highlight the fact that they're unaware of what they're talking about,
they also misspelled "those" ... heh ...
My thought on the subject is that it's somewhat "ingenuine" (for lack
of a better word) to delete the hostile post just because it was
hostile. The phrase "keeping it real" comes to mind, but it's not an
_expression_ I really use or ever have used, so I think it doesn't sound
natural when I say it. :) (Anybody else here remember the scene from
Signs where he says it doesn't sound natural when he curses?) Anyway
-- so that's why I'm disinclined to remove it myself, but I'm second
guessing myself, so I wanted some additional opinions.
Personally, I think it's kinda cheap to post something hostile and to
do it anonymously. I haven't got any hostility myself toward Hal or
anyone else in the Fusebox community. That's not to say I've never
posted anything negative or angry -- I get frustrated like everybody
else, and I try to apologize when I realize that I've offended people.
Obviously Fusebox isn't my prefered architecture, but I don't see
anything wrong with that, and I think that as an instructor I could
provide an unbiased curriculum even teaching both Fusebox and onTap,
since I don't think there's a necessarily direct relationship between
preference and understanding. In other words, I don't think I have to
be ignorant of the merits of Fusebox to personally prefer something
else. In all honesty, the two frameworks have very different strengths
and weaknesses.
