I remember them criticising Google for not being faster at removing cached files. I don't remember them blaming Google for their screw up.
And let's be honest, if a big provider wants to offer cached versions of pages, they probably should have a way to purge those files in case there's a problem (eg: malware).

You're putting words into my mouth.
I'm not sure what you were expecting people to take away from your message, with the way that it is worded. It may not have been the intent, but the particular way you expressed your point heavily implies it.

My guess would be that they were saying that Cloudflare's HN comment on the incident was to complain about google not cleaning up after the incident.

You can't turn around the burden of proof this easily. Saying "the particular way you expressed it" doesn't give you license to make things up about a comment that is an inch above yours.

I wrote what I wrote. He came here and in his only comment, criticised Google for not being quick enough.
That is all I wrote and all I meant.

I don't much care if words are being put in my mouth but I do point it out.
But then again as Maya Angelou said:
"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Um, you literally wrote:
Isn't that "them blaming Google for their screw up"?
No, it is deflection. Very common tactic used to make it appear that someone else is more responsible than oneself.

Do you not literally understand there is a difference between criticise and blame?
Jeez, this place.
