> Codesmith is not a sex cult. I can't believe I'm writing that sentence.
You wouldn't have needed to write that sentence had you not flippantly compared Codesmith to a sex cult in a public forum -- so flippantly that you couldn't even be bothered to spell the cult's name correctly, as if your words carried no weight.
Words do carry weight, and online discourse matters. And your refusal to acknowledge that in your comments here would be incredible if it weren't predictable given your pattern of behavior as outlined by the article and confirmed by a few simple Google searches.
You're even blatantly lying in this very thread that you aren't in the same industry as Codesmith. It would be remarkable except that we've seen the same behavior time and again from founders who think pattern recognition and basic verbal competence relieves them of the need for integrity.
All I can say is that I was in doubt after reading the article, but after reading your responses here, I have a negative view of both you and your company.
