It wasn't the "don't build security" that was the attack. It was "be a good boy and tell us who you are so we're protected from your incompetence" that I'm taking issue with.
I think it's particularly unfair seeing as your original reply to me was so brief that I missed the crucial point. Anyhow, we're done here.
- saynsedit 10y agoAsking you to disclose your identity was only a suggestion and it was offered at your discretion, appealing to your potential desire to be a Good Samaritan. My sincere intent was not to offend you but protect you from yourself. I had already offered what I thought was sufficient explanation for the attack and I felt there were no further options. I did not mean to offend you but since I have I apologize. I don't believe one's self-worth or employability is based on their expertise in computer security but I can see how that can be implied by what I wrote and I was wrong to be careless with my language online. Honestly I am no expert either. I just hope we can all cooperate, put our egos aside, remain humble in our limited knowledge, keep an open mind and stay focused on the facts to build more secure systems. Peace and well wishes to you and your family.
