No nothing to offend me, it is just annoying to see you constantly going on about things and acting like you fully comprehend them when you clearly don't while making as many excuses for yourself as possible ('oh I am so tired', 'oh I didn't even read the full thing') in case you got something wrong (which you seem to do a lot). How about you read the papers you comment on, read the articles you comment on, read the source code of the program you comment on, and then come to a conclusion. You thought the attack on the implementation of that password safe program was an attack that cut AES key strength in half when it was an attack on the PBKDF, you dismissed Zerocoin as being impossible without even reading the whitepaper, you spoke poorly of the people who wrote the HSDIR attack paper because you confused rendezvous points with introduction points, and now you are saying that Privnote offers security equal to GPG when it obviously doesn't. So no I am not offended I am just annoyed that you keep spouting off nonsense when you don't even take the slightest time to research what you are talking about. Once or twice or three times or four times I would let it pass, and I even edited my post in the HSDIR attack thread after originally calling you out, but you consistently engage in spouting off about technical things that you are not understanding. And you do it in the most condescending way half of the time, like the security researchers writing these papers are idiots who don't know what they are talking about, simultaneously with making excuses for yourself and admitting that you have not even researched what you are commenting on or even finished reading the papers. You could have said nothing at all if you didn't know what you were talking about. I don't even care if people get things wrong, I doubt anybody here is a professional level security expert, but you don't say things that are wrong you make claims that are wrong. There is a big difference. This is a false claim. If you had said I would have corrected you but not called you out. Hell even if you had just said this alone I wouldn't have cared, it is just a consistent theme I notice in your posts that has been consistently irritating me. It is okay to be wrong, it is annoying as hell when people consistently make definitive claims that are wrong, even more so when it is due to lack of research or even reading of the entire paper that they are commenting on.
