This is extremely tacky. Of course you meant to put the framework down - your first statement shows you think this is a competition, and you don't want to "lose"

Your edit is just to try and convince others and yourself that you weren't being a complete tool. (You were).

It seems you had no other intention in your comment than to belittle the authors work and puff yourself up. If you actually thought you could learn something from the author you would have treated them with some degree of respect.

First of all, I waited until two other people in the thread had mentioned Min before mentioning it. Second of all, I think this is an extremely relevant place to mention Min. Finally, I've edited my post more to show how I think Picnic is really interesting and has a cool approach.

Good now?

Oh go soak your head. Commenter points out what they likes about OP's tool, describes their own, and asks for a sales pitch from OP about why someone should use their (OP's) tool. There's nothing wrong with any of this-- why do you think OP posted their framework here if not to receive feedback & have an opportunity to sell their tool?

People complaining that bringing up an alternate CSS framework for compare/contrast in a thread on a new CSS framework need to chill.

Their edited-edited post is much more approachable. Bringing up alternatives is great, that's why I generally bookmark threads like this. Passive aggressive rhetorical questions are not nearly as conducive to productive conversation. I commend them for changing the tone of their post.
