I don't trust Signal

You ran an article titled "I don't trust Signal" with a subhed that read "Signal took NSA money". That was false, as you acknowledged. You can correct it properly or not. People can draw conclusions from your actions either way.

Sorry, where are you getting the idea that I wouldn't correct the article?

What are my "actions" that people can draw conclusions from? This sounds very emotive and slightly threatening.

I don't pretend to understand what you're arguing about right now. Personally, I think you should correct the article, but you could opt not to. It's your call either way.

OK, let me be as clear as I can be because I thought I stated this: I will, always, absolutely correct the article, and I will keep my original statements as strike-throughs.

Given that it makes no material difference to the point being made I don't know why it's being so emotionally driven;

I would correct the article even if it completely invalidated my point.

I would correct the article if you hadn't been emotional too.

It's just good to make sure that if you make a mistake that you own up to it and you ensure that misinformation does not spread.

I think (I hope) you agree with that.

Which is why I'm confused as to why you keep pressing the issue as I had already corrected the article after seeing your comment for the first time (before I even replied, in fact).

The reason you can't understand what I'm arguing about is because I'm... not arguing.

Sounds like there's not much more to talk about!
