> If you stand by it, why not attach your real name to it?

Seriously? You don't understand why not?

Since it is obvious he does not – and you give the impression of possessing some kind of explanation – why not directly explain your view of it to him instead of asking snarky questions that you already know the answer to? It is a much more meaningful way to advance the discussion.

If he gives his real name then he is basically publically admitting to astroturfing via fake reviews.

I'm assuming this is against the TOS of pretty much any app store and could get whatever apps he is associated with pulled.

>"why not directly explain your view"

It's very simple, which I suppose is way the parent asked the question: I don't want to attach my name to anything I do on the internet, really.

Excellent comment, a very meaningful way to advance the discussion. Please post more of the same, more often.

Also you may want to look up "rhetorical question" when you have a spare moment.

I fail to see how you not expecting your question to be answered makes it somehow more relevant. It is still simply belligerent criticism without any reasonable justification or explanation. If you were planning to follow up with something later on you could easily have cut out the middleman.

But you are right when you say that this discussion is way off topic, so I'll probably leave it at this. Nice seeing ya.
