I don't see the problem with us pursuing legal action against people involved in serious harassment and libel.
Are you going to deny that I get harassed daily by people calling be schizo / deranged / crazy in our rooms, Techlore rooms, in private messages / emails and more?

That's the tip of the iceberg. You seem to think it's pretty funny that people are spreading all these attacks / libel about me and making my life hell every day, to the point that I have not been able to work productively on GrapheneOS for a year and depend on other developers.

You've engaged in that yourself. How about actually treating me like I'm a person? Open source developers are people. I don't know how you expect me to act towards you after all of this. As I said I'm 100% open to discussing it in a way that's not this stunt for your followers.

The problem is, I haven't though. There's no proof of this because I've never done it.
I've made comments that go toward your ability to disregard/incorporate common internet criticism and simply work on your tool. I don't have the power you imply I do.
I'll stop replying nowโ

Do it.
You can't use your self-imposed victimhood status to bully me. I just said your product works and ppl should use it you absolute sperglord.

No, I'm not denying that I have called all kinds of people silly internet insult names when they act ridiculously.
The problem is NO ONE else acts like you do, Daniel. No one. If it was just me saying this, maybe you'd have a point. But unfortunately

I don't think many people have experienced having their business partner stab them in the back, burn down everything they built and then turn all these internet trolls on them while trying to destroy their reputation. Follow that up with multiple years of follow up nonsense.

While working for an immense amount of time rebuilding all of the infrastructure and the project, advancing it forwards, managing other developers and many other issues, etc. Hasn't been a moment of any real peace or rest since 2018. Don't have to wonder why I'm stressed as fuck.

Listen, person to person--I get all of what you just said. Sincerely.
But fact is you've habitually responded to that stress in highly unproductive ways, often against ppl who support your work. They're now unnecessary enemies.
I really hope the dynamic changes going forward.

There's a major difference between thinking my work has value vs. supporting it.
I expected the conflict involving the Samourai community to go away once it became increasingly clear what had happened with the former sponsor and we won the legal conflict, but no, not at all.

That started to wrap up and things started to quiet down and within days there's 1 hour hit piece about myself and the project on YouTube escalating all of this far more than ever before and it hasn't relented.
You don't see the daily siege we have to deal with since then.
Focusing on the project and making it better and better doesn't make any of this quiet down or go away. It's not a technical problem. Most people don't understand or value technical achievements anyway. They'd be more impressed with AOSP + bundled apps + fancy theme anyway.
