I spent the time to write all that, and all you got from it is "MySQL is just as bad"...I obviously did a bad job.

edit:

I brought up MySQL because I think we all know that companies, you, me knowingly ship products with bug. In fact, you can look at public bug tracking for a bunch of major software and see bug fixes scheduled for future releases.

However, if you are going to accuse a database vendor of knowingly shipping data-corruption bugs, I think you absolutely have to back that up. It's slanderous. Obviously, if you think that, you also shouldn't use their product. But you either know something the rest of us don't, or you're a complete ass, if you make those kinds of statements without evidence.

No, of course that's not all I got from it. I was making a point specifically about the comparison you seemed to be making: that because MySQL did something (shipping with stupid defaults, dataloss bugs, whatever), it doesn't count as a black mark against MongoDB if they do the same.

I didn't comment on the rest because I don't care, not because I don't get it.
