Oh, wow, and people complain about Telegram team's attitude. Don't be so vulnerable, please. Take the critics easy.

As for the article, it's well written, but most of the points had been answered in Telegram FAQ or comments on HN. And yet they come up again and again. Not all, most.

I'm not sure what you mean by this as I'm not the author, so you haven't criticised anything I've said.

Not adequately, hence the well written deconstruction by the post author.

I'm going to echo what I've seen in another post - you appear to be a Telegram cheerleader with a brand new account, are you associated with them at all?

Discussions on HN about Telegram were mentioned on several Russian sites (e.g. [1]). No wonder that some persons decided to pitch in.

I think Telegram "cheerleaders" are here because Telegram backer Pavel Durov (paveldurov on HN) is very well known in Russia. He is the founder of one of most popular social networks in Russia, vk.com. He is a (local?) celebrity and he has fans. Imagine Mark Zuckerberg backing Telegram.
