Also, from my perspective as a long-time follower of both of you for different reasons, it clearly went wrong around this sequence of events:

That's not what you are doing. You keep misrepresenting my statements and trying to spin them into something else. You were largely the one that created this conflict by going out of your way to troll. My issues with Brave after this conversation are 100-fold what they were.

It was a stretch to take your initial 2 tweets as a good faith attempt to communicate but I did that and started elaborating before having Brendan come here explicitly not wanting to hear what I wanted to say and just repeating nonsense over & over and arguing word definitions.

I will definitely be writing about Brave's messed up ad system, cryptocurrency, ICO launch, and the usage of DRM to try to make it work. I usually don't have the motivation to write blog posts rather than tweets and comments that are less formal and don't require extensive work.

Comment #1 trying to make my criticism of software into a personal jab at someone that works on security even though the problems are largely not their fault and may have fought against things I disagree with all the way.
2
I didn't say it currently has major security issues but that it has had them and they were majorly self-inflicted wounds with obviously terrible design decisions. As I hinted at elsewhere I dislike the overly complex maze of commits and messy ways they approach things in general.

I said it's "starting to seem nefarious" which is not saying that they are literally malicious people but that it's starting to seem that way externally. The attempt at justifying it just reinforced that and I'd word it way stronger now...

Replying to @justsee @DanielMicay and @bcrypt
How is their intent nefarious? Have seen a lot of vague attempts at casting shade on @BrendanEich project with nothing of substance.
Criticism of monetising content is criticism of entire internet industry, not particular to Brave? In that context theirs seems like better model?

"Criticism of monetising content is criticism of entire internet industry" is clearly not the case, and is just you spinning and misrepresenting what I said from the start. I didn't criticize monetizing content. This is where you ping him, so he saw this first, not my tweets.

> Monetizing other people's content was always sketchy
It's not hard for any neutral reader to see the point I was making in relation to your comment, pointing out that if monetising other peoples content is sketchy, well that's the whole internet.
2
Not sure why you'd think anyone would buy the attempt to paint me as some random dishonest internet troll, rather than an interested party who makes no apologies for being vocal about any contradictions I see.
I could of course be wrong / stupid / lacking context w my criticisms
1
The fact that you have been incredibly dishonest and started with your trolling and attempt to create conflict from the start. The whole approach of feigning misunderstanding and misinterpreting things deliberately doesn't work with me. Go act like scum somewhere else instead.
As a longtime watcher of the Brave project I've seen *a lot* of bad faith actors engage in all sorts of underhand, distorted arguing online, including accusing honest participants of being the dishonest ones.
That's what I'm feeling here, but will reserve my judgement.
2
If I assume good faith on your part, and that the name-calling is partly out of rough dealing with Brave team so you're primed to attack perceived 'trolls' - then reserving judgement is just waiting for a clear outline of your issues with the project.
