For the people reading, I am not in the habit of hacking, I don't have the type of character that suits this kind of behaviour. I also care a lot about this platform, which is why I am so angry about how it is being mismanaged. As for asserting that I am trolling, there is a pretty wide gulf between trolling and debating. Trolls use adhominems and make threatening statements like STFU (or what?), and furthermore, FUD is specifically a propaganda technique like the old Red Menace propaganda of the cold war. I am congenitally incapable of either FUD or astroturfing. I was trained by my mother to tell the truth, because she would spare some of my punishments as a result. Punishing someone for telling the truth is absolutely a serious, and common mistake, that makes criminals.

If there is something to be angry about here, then I would want to know what it is. I am simply pointing at things and making pretty simple, obvious observations about what this could possibly mean, and in reply I am getting accused of threatening people.

It's not my problem, in the end, because I already made sure I didn't count on this platform having a future, and the more I saw of how it is built, and the psychology of its most avid proponents, I pretty much decided that I am not here, as of several months ago, to 'earn for writing' but rather, to share information, and get comments to either enhance or amend my understanding.
