"Because I believe differently than you, there isn't much to discuss." is a terrible way to convince others of your belief. You're presupposing your conclusion and seem completely …

I couldn't disagree more strongly; you will screw this up if you roll your own. The only secure option is to push as much as possible outside of your infrastructure. The concerns t…

That’s even worse! I would try to avoid a library with a function that fragile.
