Since you've asked me not to share contents of private emails, I won't. But your insistence on assuming bad faith on my part and rudely rejecting any conflict resolution from my end is deplorable, and you should be ashamed of how baselessly aggressive you have been towards me. You consistently spin everything I say and respond to my attempts to be constructive by encouraging groupthink against what I'm trying to say using irrational fodder.
You've ignored all my attempts to make discussion with you constructive. You are nothing but a great big bully and you should feel shame for your behaviour.
Every time I comment about anything on HN, and every time I am personally mentioned or my work is mentioned, you dutifully pop up to do your work. It's disgusting. You have a problem with me and anyone who cares to look into this can deduce the same.
I am not threatened by technical criticism, but you simply go so above and beyond reasonable discourse thanks to your irrational, mentally unfounded conviction that everything I ever do or write is necessarily either the result of incompetence or bad faith. Between me and you, it seems you never find the room for nuance and human respect!
That's my final say regarding you. Your technical knowledge is amazing and I've learned a lot from you. But you make HN a terrible place with your personality.
* Requesting the crypto challenges and receiving some of them.
* Repeatedly asking me to talk to you privately, which, as you've acknowledged here in the least charitable way possible, I refuse to do. I respond to these requests simply and directly, without insult or explanation.
That's the extent of our correspondence.
As any reader of this thread can see, you and your work weren't "mentioned" on this thread. You're the manager of a project that competes with Whisper, and you chimed in on a thread about Whisper to ding them for something. I believed that ding was unfair and explained why. You then proceeded to --- if I may be permitted an uncharitable interpretation myself --- freak the hell out.
You should have just conceded the point (it turned out later in the thread that you were wrong to have brought it up). Instead, you relentlessly personalized it. Now you're unhappy with how that went for you. Maybe this can be a learning experience.
I was fine with the meta tangent we went off on earlier today, even though it didn't have that much to do with Whisper, because it did have something to do with forward secrecy, transcript consistency, and the relationship between protocols and their implementations. This, however has nothing to do with anything. The thread shows how this meta-tangent started: with me asking a technical question about your offering, and you giving a little speech about how bad a person I am.
a question.
which application should I use if I have an iphone? (and do not want to change the iphone)
what program would you recommend?
thank you very much

My initial issue remains valid, and anyone who reads through the thread can see that you repeatedly attempted to change the focus to personalize this issue towards me. It's like I'm not allowed to offer any feedback, no matter how polite, constructive or valid, while you're around. Your doublethink is egregious.
You've ignored all my attempts to make discussion with you constructive. You are nothing but a great big bully and you should feel shame for your behaviour.
