"Haters" is a very emotive term. There is no real hate I can detect form the TextSecure team. They have just pointed out flaws and why they feel that the solution is flawed.

You wouldn't be associated with Telegram, by any chance?

Alright, haters is probaby a too strong term. TextSecure team pointed out flaws in the first topic about Telegram on HN and these flaws were answered by Telegram team: they updated FAQ, they commented in twitter and here on HN. Every post with Telegram's flaws explicitly mentions TextSecure as an alternative, and that is suspicious - they seem to find it a great way to get publicity.

So are you associated with telegram, just to be clear?

Sorry I didn't respond to that. No, I'm not associated with Telegram in any way. And I'm not crypto professional :)

I totally understand what Telegram critics are saying, but in every article there's always a note "Please use TextSecure, don't use Telegram". By how it looks, it seems to be a way to market TextSecure and not to discover Telegram's security flaws. And critics rarely respond to Telegram team's comments where they say that the claims are wrong.
