> Please, calm down.

By the way, that will almost certainly be taken in a bad way. It's never a good idea to start a comment with something like "chill" or "calm down", as it feels incredibly dismissive.

> I do appreciate your work on Rust, but

There's a saying that anything before a "but" is meaningless.

This is not meant to critique the rest of the comment, just point out a couple parts that don't help in defusing the tense situation.

Thank you for the advice. Yes, I should've been more careful in my previous comment.

I have noticed this comment only after engaging with him in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26410565 in which he wrote about me:

> You do not know what you are talking about.

> You are confused.

So my reaction was a bit too harsh partially due to that.
