I had never actually visited Kiwifarms before today so I knew virtually nothing firsthand of what's actually going on there, other than hearing it repeatedly invoked in these discussions by supporters and detractors alike. A brief, cursory look turned up a dox thread thanking @larossmann for providing information. It also turned up comments from some like, "Daniel Micay is a low-functioning cancer who should have been beaten and/or raped to death by a drunken father." If anything, Micay appears to have been underselling things. To be fair, it appears the project also has some supporters in that thread, and I'd have to delve further to figure out whether it's a 4chan-esque deliberate toxicity to keep the unwashed masses out, but it's not difficult to see how Micay isn't interested in dealing with Rossman. Rossman spends a lot of time knocking Micay online, but I'm not finding much in the way of even-handed coverage by Rossman from his considerable YouTube pulpit. Rossman also appears to be active on there recently. A few minutes of researching indicates a non-trivial possibility he has a role in all this and has zero desire to separate himself from it. Many reasonable people would have zero interest engaging with someone like that, especially after they've donated money and then attached post-hoc strings to the donation. I also saw firsthand Nick Merrill's chat behavior re: Daniel and GOS, and as one who used to contribute to both projects, I had zero qualms after that pulling all support from Calyx, which still makes me sad, as Nick at his finest was a pretty wonderful force for good. The same could be said of Rossman. If this sort of thing doesn't at least somewhat moderate the consistent position you've held here every time GOS comes up, I don't see a way to assume good faith on your part in these threads. A number of people in these threads consistently adopt the form of making unsupported claims they could easily research before posting, and when presented with evidence to the contrary then move on to claim to be given unsatisfactory responses to their original questions and/or move the goalposts. When others eventually stop engaging, they claim the project supporters are unable to answer even their most basic questions (which have already been addressed numerous times, with citations). It's against HN guidelines and its a pretty ignoble way to exist. So why should we believe you over Micay, or are you willing to change your view after seeing evidence
