>>"My parents are in the military, you can do jack shit". all i meant was my parents are in the army, and they have raised me to not be afraid of people like this threatening me. did not mean at all i could use connections, wtv the fuck that means.

the guy basically told me after i agreed on taking his post down, that take the site down, "how can you not take it down when im telling you to",and then said he'd beat me up in the morning.

so i just meant, man both my parents are in the army, I'm not gonna be threatened by some nerd at IIT Delhi, not in the sense that my parents would do anything, just that I'm personally stronger than that.

> [...] I'm personally stronger than that.

Respectfully, I think all of your actions here contradict that claim. It's easy for a person to mistake having a temper with strength. It doesn't take strength to get pissed off and lash out at someone who is angry at you. That's something most people naturally want to do, and it's something which we work hard to teach kids to resist. It takes a lot of strength to try to put aside your immediate, gut reaction and attempt to deescalate. Your statements elsewhere in this comment section and in the blog post give the impression of a person who feels entitled and is angrily rejecting taking responsibility for the negative consequences of their actions.
