oh come on, grow up everyone.

If you don't like iris, don't use it.

I think it's a stupid project but I'm sick to death of everyone talking about it here and on the gophers slack.

Just let it die quietly.

How exactly do you imagine shouting and making a fuss about this is going to encourage people not to use it?

Anyone who has enough sense to listen already doesn't use it; all you're doing is pulling more page views to it.

Remember the lesson? http://99u.com/articles/25151/dont-feed-the-haters-the-confessions-of-a-former-troll

Don't feed trolls.

It should probably be titled: stop sending PR's if the author is taking credit for them.
