Hey, this is a serious accusation. I would be very careful about raising false suspicions like this publicly.
It's not an 'accusation', it's feedback on your thing. It could be mistaken but it's a Show HN, the purpose is public feedback. If that sort of feedback is not what you're looking for, don't do a Show HN.

I've discussed this at length and have thoroughly documented the code. The commenter makes factual errors, and stating something is insecure, even on the level of suspicion, is a claim that as software developers, we take very seriously.
- pvg 3y agoIt doesn't matter if the commenter is wrong or right, you can't start writing grumpcomments with threatening auras at them. Particularly as an author in a Show HN but really anywhere on HN in general. If you think the critique is wrong, you can address that without hyperbole and without suggesting they're making accusations or need to 'be careful'. People are allowed to be simply wrong and if you think they are, you can explain that to them.
