I actually have not, for real. And I keep getting beaten up here on HN just for daring to say it.

Makes you think who is who in this situation. Bullies screaming they are the victims.

A quick scan of your comment history suggests that you see one every day ;)

And - the number of times I have been grossly downvoted for daring to utter a true word about Rust (or even Rust adjacent) will let you know your non-existent Rust evangelists are indeed the bullies - with one now screaming that he is a victim.

If you want definitive proof - look at this sub thread where you're so triggered that people talk about the mere existence of Rust evangelists (and evangelists exist for every tech - they always have and always will - which you would know given your [claimed] history in the field) that you want to argue they they aren't evangelists, they're just poor misunderstood victims.

Note: I say claimed not as a jab but because I don't know you and can only go on your claims in your profile.

My comment history? The very same one that keeps trying to extract out the location of those supposed Rust zealots and never even getting a single response except yesterday... and the linked comment was pretty mild? But I always get downvoted for having the gall to ask? That comment history?

Surely you mistyped that part of your comment with the one I wrote above, right? Understandable.

I guess we'll have to agree that we live in parallel realities though, reading your comment -- which I do find genuinely puzzling. Because I keep not seeing evangelists and the only one using troll-like language here is you, not me ("triggered", really?).

I am looking at the sub-thread. I guess I need new glasses. Still not seeing anyone fanatical / zealot or whatever. What I see are people who try to ground a discussion because a top comment happily tears down a straw man, and those comments are attempting to show that.

> Note: I say claimed not as a jab

Oh, I am sure. Your comment absolutely cannot be mistook for that.

>> Note: I say claimed not as a jab

> Oh, I am sure. Your comment absolutely cannot be mistook for that.

I made an explicit note because I suspected that you were going to take it as such (and, as demonstrated by the sarcasm in your response, you did)

Have a nice day bud - nobody has changed their mind - it's been real.

		You are reaching and trying too hard to find bogeymen where they don't exist, that's my conclusion. Be more awesome, dude. :)
