With the writing being at the level that it is, I struggle to take the claim "I was telling him, sir, give me one actual rule im breaking and i'll take the site down" Seriously. OP obviously didn't clearly understand why people were having a negative reaction to the site; I expect they might not recognize rules or laws even if they were cited.

I am actually pretty surprised how bad the writing is in the article. As far as I know, IIT is one of the most prestigious universities in India.

  Also his general reactions and overall maturity seem very poorly developed. I might expect that response from a thirteen year old, but a university student? Really sounds like an arrogant rich kid who has had a lifetime of getting whatever he wants.

      You might be confusing "conviction" with sociopathy

  How is the writing bad

    > this is that story. This sentence is missing capitalization. > For egs Egs is not a word. I assume you mean example? Or if you want to abbreviate it, use "e.g.". > Back to the story, at 1 am, I launched the site, and just told 4 of my friends. that's it. That's not how you're supposed to use commas. First one should probably be a period or semicolon. Second one is unnecessary. Third one is defensible, but you're connecting two independent clauses; I think it's better as two sentences. Failing that it's better without the comma. > lmao as you can see I wouldn't include "lmao" in any serious piece of writing attached to my professional identity. > I told them, "no i wont", This is missing an apostrophe and capitalization. The list goes on, and on, and on, and on. Stylistic concerns aside, this reads like you're telling a story to a friend. It's very 'stream of thought'. You don't give much commentary. You don't reflect on what you or others did right or wrong. You don't seem to have actually learned anything from this experience. Better writing would include reflection and show that you have put some actual thought into this incident beyond knee-jerking 'I did nothing wrong I shouldn't have been punished this isn't fair'.

Lmao i obv knew why some ppl were having a negative reaction, like i dont agree with them but i get it. What i didnt get is why is it an acceptable reason to make me take dow my site? Thousands of ppl were enjoying it too, js cos 3 kids dont like it, no reason to shut it down. I can find 100 people right now who wont like facebook, or hacker news, or even charities for that matter, should we shut them all down. And lmao who even gives you the right to talk about shutting things down tf

  I wasn't making a point about whether it should actually be shut down or not (and in fact I don't have much of an opinion on that, I don't know the laws in India). Instead, I was making the point that your low quality writing likely reflects a weakness in incoming communication. And now ironically, you responding in this way, missing my key point, and trying to argue something else actually reinforces it.
