Sorry... had to come back for one last reply.

> But if a person responds to any criticism of C with vitriol, one begins to think that person is invested in a belief that C is perfect.

That was before I started responding in kind.

> You're not the innocent victim in this conversation that you think you are.

Oh, I was. You and jerf certainly started the rude behavior. Expecting me to sit back and take it, and then pouncing on me for "vitriol" for responding in kind is... wait for it... SEALIONING.

Push the envelope, then call the other out for pushing back, as if you're the injured party.

Either way, this is far outside of acceptable behavior on HN. I'm disengaging for good this time. I offered you useful advice. You tried to turn this into a silly Rust debate that no one wanted. Then, you act like the aggrieved party because no one wants it.
