s/cocaine/sriracha/ and I would agree with you, because there are
places where JS can majorly enhance a web site, and it isn't going to
kill you if you use it correctly. But while we might disagree on the
precise boundary between "good JS" and "bad JS", it seems we're pretty
vehemently in agreement that there are a lot of sites out there that
serve up a stew that burns the paint off buildings in the next county.
