> You're avoiding the question

I answered your question despite it being a straw man argument.

> No, you made a categorical, absolute statement that "If you need privacy then you shouldn’t be uploading to GitHub in the first place." This statement is utter nonsense.

Thus far all the arguments you’ve made have been either unsubstantiated or straw man.

Take the quote above, you argue it’s nonsense but offer zero evidence to back up that remark.

> Now you're just arguing that you didn't say what you actually said.

You’re changing the subject again instead of providing a counter argument. I’ve made my points clear, with examples as to why I’ve came to that conclusion, and there’s history of our chat in this forum.

This is clear an emotive topic for you but if you want to prove me wrong then please at least stick to the subject.




> I answered your question despite it being a straw man argument.

You didn't, and I think that's all that needs to be said. There's no need to address the rest of your comment. I don't care to engage in whatever it is you're doing.


Have a read of the following and then you’ll understand my frustrations conversing with you:

http://www.paulgraham.com/disagree.html

Thus far we’ve seen DH2, DH3 and DH4 but you haven’t yet refuted my central argument (nor even anything close to it) despite posting a multitude of emotionally charged paragraphs.

Now take a look at the discussions I’ve had with others in this thread. They’ve been on topic and informative. Unlike the responses from yourself.

I’m genuinely open to discussion, if you’re genuinely interested in having one.


You've seen only DH6, a direct refutation of your central point which I'll quote for you again: "If you need privacy then you shouldn’t be uploading to GitHub in the first place."

Take another look at your own responses, vis a vis that article. You and I are done here.


So you are just trolling me then?

Pity you couldn’t be bothered to hold a proper discussion here because some of your other posts in other threads have been informative. C’est la vie
