Oops; either way, I was doing neither. They asked, I answered, then they had a hissy fit because it turns out they're apparently the CEO trying to score some users. Let's just end this line of discussion and keep it related to IRC and stop talking about Matrix.
- samsquire 5y agoI think you're being completely unreasonable. They didn't have a hissy fit. You're trying to moderate discussion that you don't like, because it's not about IRC. Matrix is relevant in a discussion about IRC because it's a valid alternative. You can't police natural and useful discussion you don't like.
- SamWhited 5y agoFair enough, I shouldn't use such strong language. That being said, the CEO of a company making money off Matrix showed up to advertise, then complained about how I hadn't disclosed that I do some volunteer work at the XSF while simultaneously not disclosing that they have an entire company based on the thing they're asking about). That seems rather egregious and made me quite mad. My original answer I still think was perfectly reasonable too. All that being said, you're right, I shouldn't get drawn in every time this person (whom I've just realized is the same person who goes by another name elsewhere) jumps in on every chat across the internet trying to advertise their product. My own fault for getting drawn in and using language like "hissy fit" that is, as you said, unreasonable. I'm sorry about that.
- samsquire 5y agoIt's okay dude, don't worry about it. We're all only human. Thank you for working on XMPP
