You claim in a sibling comment that you have engaged with my points, yet when I talk to you about it you just shut down the conversation.

You really aren't going to respond to any of those points? You stand by your complaint DNSSEC being "government controlled PKI" when TLDs are a government controlled naming system? And your alternative is to advocate for privately owned PKI run by companies with no accountability that are also much more vulnerable to attack?

Campaigning against cryptographically signing DNS records is a weird life choice man.

You're on tilt. It's fine that we disagree about DNSSEC. You seem very angry that you? (it was you, I gather?) wrote a post disagreeing with my post, and I didn't go back and revise my post to capture all the arguments you had that I disagreed with. Sorry, but not sorry. This is just crudding up the thread now though.

If I've said something in this thread that you disagree with, say so and say why (you'll need something better than "I wrote about this 11 years ago and you weren't nice enough to me about it"). Right now, all you're doing is yelling about a post I wrote 11 years ago and haven't cited once on this thread.

Of course, as you know, I stand by that post. But it's not germane to the thread.

> You're on tilt.

I'm upset that your incorrect arguments have gotten so much traction that the internet is a less safe place for it.

> wrote a post disagreeing with my post, and I didn't go back and revise my post to capture all the arguments you had that I disagreed with. Sorry, but not sorry.

You in a sibling thread:

> I feel pretty confident that the search bar refutes this claim you're making. What you're trying to argue is that I've avoided opportunities to argue about DNSSEC on HN. Seems... unlikely.

It seemed like you wanted to have this discussion but I guess not.

> yelling about a post I wrote 11 years ago and haven't cited once on this thread. ... Of course, as you know, I stand by that post. But it's not germane to the thread.

Do you know what comment thread you are in? I complained about FUD and cited your blogpost. This is what this thread is about.

Have you considered that telling me how influential my writing on this topic has been is not a great way to get me to stop writing?

It's OK. I'm working on another post right now, titled "Stick A Fork In It", and you can write a rebuttal, "Pull The Fork Out Of It" and we'll get another chance to do this. We'll see who's more influential. ;)

I'm tickled a the idea that I get to take credit for its demise, though I don't think that's entirely fair. Either way: we're witnessing its agonal breathing. This is an easy call.

I'm not kidding. I've been meaning to write the post for a long time, but some stuff is about to happen to make the prediction clearer. I'm not just talking about the new post to mess with you (I don't know who you are).
reply
Then why the trolling? You claim to be interested in engaging in a substantive conversation or having done so in the past but when I try, you just insult me and announce that my advocacy for DNSSEC has inspired you to go hate on it more.
reply
I think you are confusing me not believing you have a single plausible argument with me trolling you. I promise, when I write stuff about DNSSEC, I'm not thinking about you at all. I learned 10 minutes ago that you were the author of this post you're so wound up about!

> Sir, this is a Wendy's.

This you?

reply
Yes, that's a colloquialism meaning "none of this stuff you just wrote has anything to do with the discussion we're actually having". You gave a long point-by-point rebuttal to a post that is not part of the thread. I'm not interested in debating that post with you right now. If it shows up on the front page of HN again, then I'll be happy to go through it with you. Feel free to submit it.
