I don&#x27;t think whether it&#x27;s an attack or not has much to do with the factual basis of a private disagreement that they had 4 years ago and how that speaks to patio11&#x27;s character or the quality of his advice now.<p>Not that I&#x27;m sticking up for Patrick.  I frequently find myself in (often silent) disagreement with him, but the post was extremely flimsy to me and not much more than an offsite meta-discussion that contributes neither to the original discussion nor this community. I flagged the link but since it remains I think this is worth discussing.
