Wasn't my code was genetics while adding the harsh map

wasn't sure my code is genetics while adding the harshmap including the method

Your code? You're Kevin Glass?

I can guess why a StackOverflow moderator removed your cross post.

If I had to handle a harsh map I'd violently push those keys and associated values through its throat; that should teach it ;-)

If I had to handle a harsh map...

The trouble with the Corrections Framework is that these young maps get influenced by the older ones. Someone introduces them to unmodifiableMap() and, basically, they'll never be any good.

I blame their genetics.

I'd poke them on the nose until they're even willing to accept duplicate keys; hah!

Uh-oh. I've been keeping my duplicate keys in the glove compartment along with my harsh maps, thinking they'd be safe there

Don't ever do that; rumours go that harsh maps eat all the gloves in the compartment and when they're bored they break their way to the engine compartment (they have huge fangs you know) and create a total mess out of your engine so don't say I didn't warn you when your car makes it to a shrieking halt on the middle of the highway; they're nasty rascals those harsh maps ...

I must strongly disagree with this, and I recent the accusation. My father – and his father before him – were both harsh maps, and they never hurt any gloves unless they are in immediately danger. If anything it is the gloves who are the bad guys here. You have no idea what they try to smuggle in their thumbs; everything from sawn-off fingers to memory sticks containing God knows what.

The SPIGARHM (Society Protecting Innocent Gloves Against Rude Harsh Maps) protests against the previous message in the strongest possible way and have taken the mentioned web site off the air because it contains all just damned lies. Gloves are cute, harshmaps are evil.

I'll be taking this up with my congressman, you haven't heard the last of me. Death to SPIGARHM and its disillusioned members.

Yes, but you may well be the Exception that proves the rule.

Well I wiggle my genitals in the general direction of your congressman; *phht!* English pigdog! Burn those harsh maps! Burn!
