Are you implying that you see merit in their attempt to lay claim to this trademark?

I'm saying that I have no claim to whatever the Hacker Nerds thinks. That I know, a priori, what this community's census will be.

Nothing I've said actually rails against truth. Just what they want to talk about.

That's only interesting to say if you think the community's conclusion is contrary to reality.

HN's conclusion is contrary to relatity.

Added:

Pretty much always.

So... you are, in fact, implying that there's merit in their attempt to claim this copyright?

I'm in fact saying I do not at all agree with the very fake and lame hive mind that exists here. We can keep going until we're deep enough that you can't reply here.

Seems like you want to insult everybody without actually defending your view in any way.

If you think there's merit here, I'd love to know why. This seems like a slam dunk for Let's Encrypt under US trademark law.

It seems like my point has been clear all along and that you desire more karma points. That is to say, I haven't shifted the goal posts around. I never made a point that I didn't stick to in previous posts. You can pander. I won't.

Unless someone figures out how to use it to buy stuff, I couldn't care less about karma. I do care about your reasoning.

Your point may be clear enough, but not why you think that way. I'm really curious about why a company would do this. It looks to me like a completely boneheaded move. If you explained, maybe that would give some insight.

Your posts in this thread were painfully off-topic and unsubstantive—which, please don't do—but here you crossed into personal attack, which is even worse. We ban accounts that do that, so please don't do it again.
