The security community is a nutshell. twitter.com/marshray/statu I wonder why people don't feel welcome in this community. I try to do useful work in peace and yet on a daily basis there's an endless assault of misinformation and attacks. I'm completely tired of dealing with it.

Sorry, but you come across sounding like a kook.

Consider the possibility that others also want to “do useful work in peace” and if they contribute their time to write up professional feedback on a technical proposal only to immediately be accused of being personally dishonest it makes further useful discussion impossible.

There's nothing professional about posting unsubstantiated assumptions and misinformation about someone's work to dismiss it as not useful, in order to promote the direction they support. They presented an 'expert' opinion on it without having a clue what they were talking about.

The only reason I became involved in that thread was to defend my work from someone presenting it as useless because they work on something in the same area they want to promote. They knew they didn't know what they were talking about and still misled people about it anyway.

Why are they attacking my work on a mailing list without even bothering to read what it's about? The rest of the discussion doesn't particularly interest me. Someone linked me to it and I saw someone repeatedly spreading misinformation about my work to downplay / dismiss it.

It's not fair having someone present it in such a misleading way and act as if they're on an expert on the topic when they're not and didn't even do basic research to form an opinion. It's not legitimate criticism and misleads people not in a position to evaluate it themselves.
