It is almost impossible for me to say how dismayed I am with the response from informal systems on the recently reported P2P storms issue.

I only wanted to get it fixed.

I have experienced retaliation from informal systems, from the CEO down.

I am not the only one who's experienced this, it's unfortunately easy to find people making reports being totally dismissed and their efforts abused.

@thanethomson has made the bold claim that my factual statements somehow constitute harassment.

I think that environments that are fact averse are incredibly bad.

Thane, can you please lmk what i have done that constitutes harassment?

Spending two and a half months of my life on this? Reproducing it? Trying to stop ICFormal from publishing it without a patch?

If it's something else, please let me know. But while you're at it can you please ask @ebuchman to provide proof of the so-called threatening language he claims my report was full of?

Here's how the CEO of informal systems speaks about security researchers (images pending)

Ok so bulleted list:

• why did informal and/or amulet publish against my wishes?

• why are we just now discussing removing the mempool? I was demonstrating this problem on testnets for months prior

• Why did informal and/or amulet put my name on something I'd not seen?

• Why did all informal team members simultaneously leave the p2p storms slack channel where numerous other teams were working to fix the problem?

• the report I made included code. Was it run?
