Please, tell us about the issue so we can judge ourselves.

Otherwise, this is just an unsupported accusation against Gruber -- which is ironic in this particular thread.

How do we know he "continued to write and be wrong about it" rather than being you who was wrong about it all along, or that both of you were right in a different way?

I'd rather this thread not devolve into a discussion about Android minutia, or worse, a debate about Gruber's character. Whether he was right or wrong is irrelevant to the GP's point that writing to Gruber was a waste of his time.

I beg to differ. We are in a thread about BS accusations from random people on the internet, and a HN reader contributes with an accusation about an famous blogger without providing any data to substantiate it.

Sort of the thing the article condemns.
