      it seriously took them 21 hours to come up with an excuse, and their excuse is it’s impossible to do the parts of html sanitization you can do with a basic regex and nothing else

      fuckin ampersands man how the fuck do they work

    • Lol why are you so mad? Holy shit it’s not that deep, Jesus. You took this shit all the way to 11.

      It’s not a “ploy”, and what I said wasn’t wrong… A lot of sanitizers do not process them nicely. I didn’t realize that something as simple as “stop using ampersands” would trigger a full on meltdown, holy crap.

      I guess I should point out that “a lot” != Most.

      I am in awe of the butthurt over such a simple comment. Also, stop using ampersands (I’m joking this time… Clearly I can have your ampersands when and only if I could pry them from your cold, dead, keyboard).

      Calm down people, it’s really not that deep. Jesus.
