> note that they simply won't reply to you if they get busy or don't feel like it. That is misleading. We reply to almost all emails, and whenever we don't there is a specific reason. "Not feeling like it" doesn't enter into it. It is true that we sometimes get busy, but the email replies which that delays are the ones that require some careful thought. Straightforward issues like an IP blockage are easier to take care of right away. Since you've repeatedly expressed upsetness that you haven't gotten a response to every email you've sent us—how many of those have there been?—and even pasted the texts of email correspondence into HN threads, I have to assume that this feeling is carrying into the comments that you're posting here. That's not ok, first because it leads to offtopic and unsubstantive posts, and now because you're misleading other users by giving them answers that carry an edge from your own unrelated experience. Please don't do that. |

I meant, your time is finite, and you can't possibly respond to every email. It's not a slight against you. It's just a scaling problem. But yes, "if they don't feel like it, they won't respond" was a poor choice of words.
This is a bit of a tricky comment, since you've kind of forced me to say something, or to stay silent and accept your slight. But it's already a meta-thread, so maybe there's no harm.
It's a bit strange to drop some hints that my words shouldn't be taken at face value. I'll just note that (a) those you deem unworthy of a response have no idea why, and (b) the timespan we're talking about is either 1 month or 1 week, depending on how you want to look at the situation. Waiting a full week for a response to something that's been happening for a month seems pretty fair, no? I don't expect you to respond to every email, nor respond very often.
Lastly, the only reason I pasted those emails was to represent you accurately. You've often complained that people misrepresent your actions or act in bad faith, and I've seen this firsthand. I didn't want to do that to you in a public complaint. It was a gesture of goodwill, not malicious, though I see it could be taken the other way.
There's more that could be said, but trust me when I say I don't mean to be a thorn in your side.
Best.
