You're absolutely out of line.

"FUD". The whole point of the timing of the release of the J2 was it is based purely on now expired Hitachi patents, so they do not require any licensing fees.

Patents tend to expire at different times around the world, plus there is the possibility of submarine patents. Without a declaration from Hitachi, adopting any processor design using their ISA is likely considered a legal risk. Beyond that, SuperH just is not very interesting. It lacks 64-bit support and there is very little interest in it by the industry, so software support is not that great.

By the way, my comment telling you that you should apologize to the community received an upvote and likely will receive more. You really are wasting people’s time with your anti-RISC-V FUD.

I too was upvoted for asking for your apology.

I will not apologize for speaking facts, and nor should you, but it is your random unnecessary insults that are unacceptable.

That's me done with this. You clearly have your opinions, but your behavior has been a discredit to the community you apparently represent.

If you take the time to read my comments thoroughly, you will notice that I always spoke to your behavior, and not to you personally. There has been nothing wrong with my behavior, which has been tame compared to how a number of others in the industry react when encountering things that are wrong or even upon mere disagreement. My only fault is that I do not sugarcoat things, which is hardly a fault in a technical forum where facts and logic are valued.

By the way, having one’s foot in one’s mouth is an idiom meaning you said something wrong, which refers to behavior. It being obvious you are clueless is a reference to your writing, which again, refers to behavior. Saying you should apologize to people for wasting their time is similarly a reference to your behavior, and you invited that criticism by demanding an apology in broken English.

Unfortunately the Internet is full of people who are very confident about things they don't actually have a mastered understanding on. It's not necessarily worthwhile to invest time and effort into interacting with everyone who stated their opinions.
