This means that character witnesses, such as Matthew Green, are little more than name-dropping in the wake of "exploit mitigation countermeasures" (tedunangst's words) in our crypto software.
Which is why your blanket defences of EKR sometimes fall upon deaf ears. Before (and at the beginning of) Snowden's leaks, you were the first "big name" on HN to discredit him. When the leaks were proven true, you begrudgingly accepted while you downplayed the significance.
I think you're a fantastic cryptographer, and smart as hell, but I just plain don't trust you or your motives.
Sadly, questioning your reputation or motives will never get anything but silence (first time in years of attempts). But calling you Tom will make you all sorts of chatty. You should give that bug some attention.
