Is that supposed to be some kind of an offense?

    I don't use his software, I use kitty, the original. Why is he entitled to its name?
    - yencabulator 4y ago
      Why are you entitled to the name Chris, I already know someone with that name.
      - Chris2048 4y ago
        It's Chris2048, and not a software project with a similar name.

        Hey, my wife is a 2048. You might be related. Her side of the family goes way back, to the 8192s!

    Calling him childish just for not wanting to deal with name drama (bikesheding) is simply projection. Just locking the thread and telling people no is the right answer.

      What has reddit got to do with the issue? He also made it clear that the right move was to rename, but that he's now refusing to do so out of spite - i.e. an escalation to the drama. > is simply projection oh, cool, now you are insulting me. So why am I childish?

        They were organizing a a dogpile there to comment and vote on this github issue. Why would you give in to a bully? He should have just blocked anyone who downvoted his responses. Also a fork of PuTTY? Who cares.

        Why should he bother when it's done in bad faith.
        Chris2048 4y ago
        His words: > convinced me never to change kitty's name He isn't refusing to respond to a bad-faith individual (no idea if all the people in the issue are from a reddit thread, or if that thread is even in bad faith) - he's refusing to ever change the name out of spite. But it seems that you are also acting in bad-faith/trolling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32057897 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32057897
