What I allege him with is strong stuff.
To substantiate that, I want to add following:
1. During the FB backdoor scandal, rather than giving any elaboration on the issue of the retransmission hole, he rallied his troops to shower the legitimate point raised by Guardian article with FUD, and rain ad hominems on critics with aim to discredit them.
He completely diverted the point of discussion from the fact that there is a retransmission hole, to "guys attacking me have no credit" , "guys attacking me endanger people who need encryption", "People will not benefit from it, giving out fact of strong encryption usage is worse than having bad encryption", "adding retransmission hole is a compromise", and e.t.c. He can not be doing this discussion diversion not purposefully, without deliberation
2. He claimed that he attacked Signal clones "for benefit of users," yet it is not hard to imagine that he does it with no other purpose than getting more users on his own service. Again, a demonstrated show of deceitfulness from his side. Yet again, he parried criticism of this move with discussion diversion.
3. In this instance, he reflected the allegation, by mirroring it against the opponent.
