Yes, your comment is unneccessarily inflammatory, in case you're wondering why I'm downvoting you.

Nobody in this thread has made any comments about their uptime expectations before you brought up the subject. There's no sign here of the "people" you are referring to.

Colo versus cloud is not a typicial flamebait subject, but the way he worded it may as well have been trolling.

For example, think of someone writing "Do people really believe that Vi is better than Emacs?".

Yeah, I feel that starting off one's comment by bluntly stating one's incredulity at relying on the leading player in the cloud hosting industry is a bit inflammatory. There are a dozen other ways to word the question.
