The blog post did not attack the people that created it in 1991. It criticizes what we have today.
What we have today is a mess of legacy cruft that is still heavily evangelized by people that don't know better.
Enough with tradition. Enough with reverence for the past. What matters more is what's the better solution. If we continue to insist on this veneer of "respect", it will just make the PGP evangelists think they're in the right.
- palata 2y ago> It criticizes what we have today. I understand that. But the tone does feel very condescending to me. And this article is not isolated in that sense. Let me just give one example from another article of this blog: > But before I do, a quick reminder that me criticizing XMPP+OMEMO isn’t an endorsement of weird or stupid alternatives, like using PGP. I don't know, if I was the PGP author, it would not make me feel good.
