I don’t really care what you “allow” me to do, and I don’t owe you my time for a deep rebuttal of your claims.

I accept that you’ve had a bad experience with the project and that you are speaking in good faith about that experience. I do not accept that I’m a liar or a shill because my experience does not match yours, and you will not convince me to accept that.

Whatever has gone on in other places between you and some third party has nothing to do with me. I didn’t see any credible threat to your safety in the links you shared, but I’m willing to guess that’s not the complete story between the two of you. I really can’t and won’t be dragged into the middle of that, because I don’t know either of you.

I notice you did not address the central point. This is, of course, because you are unable to. You have no argument to attack the evidence I have shown, you cannot answer any of the questions I have posed, the sidetrack about the other HN user was fruitless, you rationally know you are holding on to an indefensible position. And yet… the fragile ego cannot allow admission of being wrong, or even merely entertain the thought. So "muh experience is different" emotional cope comes out instead of dealing with objective reality, like installing a Wx software or looking at a screenshot. Stop digging, man, we already feel embarrassed on your behalf.
If you can read someone’s thoughts so thoroughly you should be making a living playing poker. All you have cited as evidence is your own other posts. You just have to have the last word, though, and that word has to be an insult to a stranger.
