I've been trying to setup moodle (still unsuccessfully so far but it's not the point of this ticket EDIT: success!. But it's irrelevant to the ticket) for a certain number of days, on my own time.

That's all and well and I can keep trying exploring the code and find what I'm doing wrong.

What I'm not really ok with is looking at the code of moodle, finding where my issue seems to be, and then just above, seeing a comment that reads:

https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/4ce642e8ba568ca50dd71f77c0e231a5676ec8c1/lib/setuplib.php#L913-L914

              // Hopefully this will stop all those "clever" admins trying to set up moodle

              // with two different addresses in intranet and Internet. 

You're very welcome to have whatever opinions on whatever horrible setup people might be doing, and for what it's worth, I'm not even trying to do what this comment says.

But it's highly unrespectful publicly calling the admins not clever (or whatever those quotes around clever imply).

This comment seems to have been there for the last 13 years. I'm sure there was a very good reason back then and the project was different.

I think it's time to change this comment for something more neutral

Cheers
