I called him out for his specific replies in this specific thread. I didn't call out his reputation or character.
Maybe you should stick to what they and I actually posted here today, and not try to draw the conversation off track into reputation wars.
> It's entirely unnecessary to be a jerk towards him for saying this.
I don't appreciate being called a "jerk."
I stand by what I said, and what I said was that I felt (and feel) that they have a bad attitude to security. They're trying to shift blame from the rails developers to every rails user, and their excuses are weak.
If you think that is "jerky," that's fine, but I feel like name calling and playing the reputation card for no reason is only going to take a conversation down a bad and unconstructive path.
