This is addressed very directly by the second paragraph of my first comment. Please adjust your response to take that into account.

why are you so fight-y? do you have to be right, or have the last word? what is it?

Dylan16807OP1y ago

I'm perfectly willing to have an actual discussion, but someone coming along to ignore what I said is kind of annoying.

Is there something more productive that I could have replied with? (I know I could have been less snippy, but I think being snippy is fair there.)

No I think that's it. "What about it?" kinda set me off, and then "if you're confused by the wording" was unnecessarily condescending.

You coulda just pointed out that just because they did right in the case of DSA, doesn't mean we should actually ever trust them, which I would agree is the correct stance.

Mostly I think that story is neat and wanted people to know about it, so I asked a question as a performative writing technique.
