I think it's your third paragraph here. You claim not to have insulted anyone, but you literally claimed that GitLab employees are worse than Hitler.

That's:

A) Super inflammatory B) Extremely disrespectful C) Adds nothing of value to the discussion

You're absolutely allowed to have a difference of opinion. Even saying something like, "I really hate the GitLab interface and it feels super janky" would have probably gone through this unscathed.

But you definitely were rude and openly hostile.

bringing Hitler into the discussion was a (perhaps rude or disrespectful) attempt at tongue in cheek humor, for which Id be willing to apologize. But- if I was trying to be seriously critical or hostile or start an argument - I would have said Thiel or Trump instead. I wouldn't have made the least justifiable argument of all time.

so while I appreciate and generally agree with your response, i still can't believe the hostility of my post garnered the downvotes- considering my completely tame and submissive second response was downvoted even further :)

(Ps - I absolutely never compared any person to Hitler- as a joke or otherwise. interpreting it that way seems lazy. if anything, I said the product is worse than Hitler. which is slightly more defensible and slightly less hostile.)
