After being caught behaving badly, a debate about the proper terminology for your lapse in ethical judgment is not a winning move.

It might suggest that your perspectives and priorities are still wonky.

I would prioritize immediately and permanently removing the material and the practice, over posting questionable whataboutism arguments vs. spam.

1. We removed the FAQ page 2. You are right, I need to shut the fuck up and let self-righteous hn crowd with torches do what they do best - find a weakness, and push it until they get bored and switch to beat another builder. You asked me about my perspectives and priorities? These are my priorities: https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/graphs/contributors 3. The first thing I did was on this thread was to apologize for having FAQ with such content.
The best thing about showing anything to others is seeing things about it that you didn't see before. That can be flaws or a hidden gem, but either way you know more about what you have than you did before. You might feel that the focus on the FAQ page was irrelevant and irritating but it gave you feedback on something that at least a few people found relevant about your marketing. Even if you feel like it was just "find a weakness, and push it" I still hope you understand that you got something out of it and hopefully feel OK with that.
Absolutely. And I am sorry I reacted this way.
