Please bullet/number your concerns as self-contained statements and I'll explicitly reference them. And yes, my response is to your comment, though do see how it's possible it's ambiguous to how I'm addressing your concerns. Thanks for the comment.

It's not his job to format his comment to make it convenient for you to rebut. I agree that it's not at all clear how your reply addresses the original comment. Perhaps you could fix that by quoting the portions of the original comment you're replying to, rather than requiring line numbers.

  Correct me if I am wrong, but I should format my comment because he refuses to do so, right? He refused to respond to my response to his even in part, though I should spend more time on it, right. My reading of his comment is he didn't read my comment, and he he can't read, there's nothing I am able to do.

    Look, I'm just letting you know that from a third party perspective, you come across as the unreasonable one, both in this sub-thread, and throughout most of these comments. It seems like people are bringing up good points and you're refusing to engage, perhaps because you're so invested in your own point of view that you're unable to recognize the legitimacy of others'. To your specific question, the parent comment's points were well reasoned, and your response read as completely orthogonal. If it wasn't, then yes, the onus is on you to demonstrate the relevance.

    Plain English please, no idea beyond your meta ranting about how I comment on a topic, when your not even express a logic response to my comment. More to the point if you have something to express about the topic, if you want to be meta on comments post a link to an "Ask HN:" state a position in Plain English and post a link to it here. Cheers!

You know, I worried a bit that I was overshooting with my choice of the word "petulant". Thank you for putting that worry to rest. You are not doing the Tor project any favors here.
