“Fundamented” is a verb?

Yeah, it would be much better if we just ditched all the web standards and jump right into the big hairy claws of Adobe or MSFT and jump on the ActiveX 2.0 bandwagon, what a nice world that would be, and both MSFT and Adobe are so creative that we don’t really need standards…
What an easy world it would be, we wouldn’t even have to care about the difficult stuff like innovation and creativity, we could just leave that up to Adobe and MSFT…!
OMG I am glad I don’t have those opinions, it would be just SO embarrassing 10 years from now … !!

I’m happy to see this post after all the slashdotting – Zed’s rants unfortunately are a bit personal here and there (concerning the original post) and for many outsiders it seemed to be an all out high school drama… this might clear up things a bit.

Well, i don’t know why all this fuss about his rant started, maybe its just this blogosphere crazy dynamics.

Because i really can’t see where he was wrong in the first place, its because he used the word “f**k” a lot? The guy fundamented his opinions quite well and maybe he is right about these teenage kind of groups with their mentality “you are with us or you are soooo not going to the party tonight..”
