Alex Hollender is a much better person than me.

> whitespace is an indication of a failed design

One of the reasons I stopped doing UI work was the aggrevation of dealing with crap like this. I can fake being patient until I can't. Then I'm just done.

People like Hollender who can humor all POVs -- because stakeholders, experts, trolls, eeyores, and hairballs must all treated equally by the process -- are nothing short of saints.

"Hairball" is an ethnic slur.
Sorry?

Neither urbandictionary, wikipedia, nor duckduckgo reveal whom I've unintentionally offended.

I mean more specifically than "everyone". While I consider myself a (part-time) misanthrope, I'd be mortified to be called a racist.

EDIT:

You wrote elsewhere:

> Whitespace is what happens when the ignorant play at design.

Hysterical.

I love the invective, even though I totally disagree.
