eh - I don't think I was talking about me - just talking about users in general.

Did you read what I wrote ? :)

I wrote the client/tools should provide ways to validate but not prevent deployment because the server side is normally more lenient (for one reason is that they tend to not validate  well because thats not what they normally are concerned about)

Of course I would appreciate if the frameworks actually kept more context so once they actually do get fed garbage they can point out or at least hint about 
what part of the garbage they don't like. But that was not what the question was about.

It was wether client or servers should validate - and I just wanted to point out that if client tools validates before deployment they should have an option to ignore/skip the validation because the server might actually be handling it even though the client side validation says there is an error.
