Earlier quoted context omitted.
My original was a response to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6039938 and the context was that the site was being criticized. > I'm sure that it was not fun to have someone flagrantly mocking your words. Seriously? You must have missed Usenet in the 1980s.
Oh I see. Yeah, I never really considered it. I like to think that we live in a more... enlightened age than when Usenet was around, and that was a genuine apology.
None needed, really. I didn't take offense at your comment, and I didn't think it was unfair. I'm not carrying any grudges ;-)
