I didn't say anything about what the insights are, I guess it's up to each person. However, you haven't done yourself favours with long rambling comments. If you had originally just said "I was interested in interviewing her on my podcast [link] but she declined." That would have been fine, folks would draw their own conclusions. Then there would be no look of disrespect on your part or people thinking you're trying to "call her out" or whatever it is you're doing. > They are doing the equivalent of standing on a street corner with a megaphone It's revealing you find it that in your face. Most people discover it via a link on hn, read, have a chuckle, move on. > expect someone to politely approach them Well indeed. And hopefully not see them splurge all over the place when they refuse to engage.
