In technical terms, I can understand temporarily using semi-broken code for the sake of bootstrapping.

In terms of the comment itself, I really wish people would avoid violent or otherwise inappropriate language in their projects. A good rule of thumb is to not say it if you wouldn't say it to the President's children while in public.



Agreed.

Even beside violent comments, avoid disrespectful comments in general. If you wouldn't say it in person to someone who's working on the project with you, don't say it in a comment.

(I'm sure there are coders who are fine with saying disrespectful things in person to collaborators. I choose not to work with those people.)
