A week or two ago I was evaluating Discorse and by chance exchanged a few posts with Jeff, who to be frank seemed a little thin skinned.

Questions about feature priorities or technical architecture were met tersely and with a demand to know what kind of software I had ever built personally. So he wanted my resume rather that just discussing the merits of whatever topic.

Wasn't going to mention it but somehow your comment seemed to click.

Not sure what you mean about a tech vendetta, sounds like the tail end of a story.

This was _literally_ your opening sentence (look it up if you don't believe me):

"I’ve started to research Discourse as a general solution and started with embed capabilities. To be frank the whole situation seems to be a bit of a mess."

To be frank, I would describe what you posted more as rants than actual discussions about features. You wanted Disqus and were pretty rude about it. That's not what we're building at Discourse. If you have a problem with that, sorry.

You label that discussion as a rant, rather than honest questions about what Disourse users are asking for and architecture decisions? Wow.

I fully acknowledged the difficulty of your task, and tried to break down feed back into specific, actionable items.

Getting constructive criticism is not always fun, but it's part of our job. Besides that some people posting there are potential customers. Why call them ranters instead of a simple, we agree to disagree?
