This isn't the sort of shit you can start here, take a look at

If you think I went around looking to dig up dirt, I didn't. I just searched djb's name on Twitter to find more discussions about the subject, as post-quantum cryptography is an area I'm curious about.

Regarding asking for a disclosure, I thought that was widely accepted around here. If the CEO of some company criticised a competitor's product, we would generally expect them to disclose that fact upfront. I thought that was appropriate here given the dismissive tone of GP.

It doesn't matter, you can't toss stuff like that at people here, never mind characterize it the way you did, as a form of argument. It's in the guidelines, there are lots of moderator comments bout it, don't be doing it.

It's not, no matter how 'dismissive' you think a comment is.


> asking for a disclosure

Bullshit, before you even finish the sentence. You didn't ask, you accused. Did you read the context of the tweets you linked?

Not sure about the disclosure, having a grudge with djb is not particularly a minority thing.


Whatever "grudge" I have with Bernstein is, to say the least, grudging.


You could not have less of an idea of what you're talking about here.
