Then shut up then.

What a douche! I had no idea XML enjoyed such a bad cult following. You make me feel like I'm in the medieval era, where anything against the cocky monarch's opinion is a blasphemy.
And no, thank you. I am not going to shut up because you can't handle a harmless joke.

It's not a harmless joke. Morons like you propagating your stupid unprofessionalism because you think it makes you sound smart make it unnecessarily difficult for those of us who work with this ecosystem to get our jobs done.

First, I don't understand how you got the idea that it makes me sound smart. Second, I am a Java developer and I have to use XML heavily. Tomcat, JBoss, Maven, Spring use XML as configuration file. What I said doesn't make my work any difficult, I have no idea how it affects you.

It's not a direct affect. But in my last job I had a requisition for SAXON denied because the SysAdmin concluded we already had Python. So as an expert I could not get the tools needed for the job because of stuff some layman keeps reading or hearing on social media.

(1/4) Okay, I don't have much context on what your use case is but I get your message.
But here's the thing: the original post was a joke about an Yaml file being opened in a word processor. Almost none of the replies that follow are serious (or professional).

(2/4) Heck, if the insincerity wasn't apparent, there was even an exclamation mark at the end of my comment. Also, I don't even need to mention that I'm a fucking nobody and if anyone forms an opinion after reading that comment, it is him/her you need to talk to.

(3/4) All I would like to say is that, if you had believed there was any hint of seriousness in my words, you could have asked without being so rude. I have infact mentioned some of my pet peeves with regards to XML in comments where other people have raised their points.

(4/4) Anyway, I am sorry if I have indeed caused you any trouble. Just want you to know I have nothing against XML or you. Peace. :)

Ok this has gone too far. You really shouldn't be apologizing
like that. It's not you. Alot of people try to appear clever by making those kind of statements and it does have an effect. Respect and peace also.

Why are you being so combative in a thread otherwise meant to be lighthearted and enjoyable?
1. I'm enjoying it.
2. We've made our peace.
Why are you stirring it.
