News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

What part of "I don't know" do you not understand? I never said that he was paid by Monsanto, I just asked about his background. Because he was making strong statements that suggested he knew what he was talking about. So I asked about his background. What is his knowledge base?

Which neither you, his buddy I'm guessing, or he, has answered. Why the heck not?

Whatever. I've taken this up with [email protected] and I'm so done with this. I'm just about done with hackernews over this thread. It's disgusting that it has gone this far, this is not what learning from each other or seeking the truth looks like, I have no desire to keep going if hackernews is going to look like Fox News.

I came here to learn from the people here. This is not that. As my Dutch grandmother would say, you should be ashamed, you can do better.

I didn't mean to antagonize -- just the opposite. It wasn't a good idea to volunteer info without you asking about it, and I see now why that angered you.

I meant to address your questions directly and in detail, but apparently I missed the mark. The usual convention is to ignore threads like these, both to avoid misunderstandings like this and to keep off-topic threads short. I didn't want to just leave you wondering, hence the replies.

And after all this, neither you nor your buddy has come forward with any "here is why I know this stuff".

Can you see why this is a huge red flag? So much drama and no "I've got a clue".

I'd love it if you or your buddy just shut me down with a huge pile of knowledge.

Well? Show us. Shut me down.
