You're doing exactly what I asked you not to do, perpetuating this pointless dispute. It's taking up a ridiculous number of cycles. If this keeps up, we'll ban the topic completely from HN.

My hypothesis is that if you guys stop responding defensively, the problem will simmer down and eventually go away. Stop focusing on criticism. Stop responding to it externally and stop reacting to it internally. Just ignore it. Work on your thing and keep your comments focused on what you've done.

If you want to do that, I'm willing to help you. But you have to actually do it. Responding like this is the opposite.
