If I ever choose to "elaborate" it will likely be on my blog, not some off the cuff remarks on a comment on HN that I can't later edit or delete if I decide I would like to reduce some of the shit show that is likely to ensue. I am enough of a target without actively provoking people. I sure as hell don't need the kind of trouble you are inviting me to step into.

Weren't you "inviting" attacks with your previous comment? And wouldn't a blog post be just as problematic? I don't want to get you in trouble. But you want to talk about this (whatever it is) but you also don't want to talk about it.

So I'm now even more confused about your story and the main story we were discussing...which are both incredibly vague and provide no real insight into the issue we're discussing.

No, I was not inviting attacks. A blog post could potentially be "just as problematic" but a) could be written more carefully, over a long period of time and b) could later be edited or redacted, something I have done bunches of on an old blog I no longer have so I know for a fact that it can make a difference.

FWIW, I have a very serious medical condition and I was in a lot of pain yesterday. So perhaps my remarks were not at their wisest. But I also have quite the track record for discussing hot button topics in a manner that helps vent steam and reduce the pressure everyone feels rather than leading to a big blow up. Usually, initial response is pretty ugly because people bring a lot of preconceived notions and baggage and thus fully expect me to be an asshole about it. It takes time for it to sink in that this is not the case.

Take care.
