I've tried, to the beat of my abilities, to state my interpretation of your words clearly. As far as I can tell, you agree that my comments have value.
I invite you to clarify, but to accuse me of anything in bad faith is upsetting, unfair, and I'll note, a violation of the hacker news guidelines. It is possible that I misunderstood you, but you should address that by adding clarification, not by demanding that I remove my own statements. When you called me a liar, I didn't demand you remove the offending statement, not when you claimed, more than once now, that I'm acting in bad faith. I simply clarified since your accusations held no merit. I only ask that you do the same. Clarify, and de-escalate instead of accusing people of acting in bad faith. If my statements merit a response, respond.
This is made all the more confusing since I cannot know which statements you feel are me speaking for you. I don't believe I've spoken for you at all. I've provided my interpretation of your words. And you seem to want to respond to some of what I've said. Removing my clarifications or something that you wish to respond to is a disservice to the both of us.
And again, I invite you to clarify if I misunderstood, but I ask you to do so assuming good faith on my part. It's the same courtesy I extend to you.
On a more technical note, I believe I can only edit one of my posts, and it's the most recent one where I defend myself from your accusations that I am a liar.
