I don't agree with that phrasing. A lot of people on that thread seemed sure cperciva was some arrogant dickhead bound for failure, but tarsnap is going a lot stronger than many of them are. Also people in the thread were amazingly rude to him, while he seemed pretty polite to me.
- cperciva 5y agoI think you're giving cperciva too much credit. He was just as arrogant as people thought, and he was definitely defensive.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoI wonder how many people will downvote you without looking at your username?
- gowld 5y agoBut does he refer to himself in the third-person? That's the pinnacle of arrogance.
- cperciva 5y agocperciva rarely refers to himself in the third person, but it does occasionally happen. More often, we refer to ourselves in the first person plural.
- yuppiemephisto 5y agoTIL. Sounded reasonable to me, so quite likely I'm arrogant too. Tarsnap's still there though, so I'd say that's a good defense.
- cperciva 5y agoI didn't say that I was wrong. But I was having a bad day, and I said things in a different and more abrasive way than I normally would.
