I work every day on DNS stuff (I own our firm's DNS server, and we're in an environment where it's truly "always DNS") and land naturally on any thread about DNS here. This particular thread isn't about Handshake; it's about setting up an alternate root hierarchy with standard DNS. Regardless of that fact: the guidelines demand that we not make insinuations about other commenters here, and this is the second weird interaction we've had in a row where you've done that. Please stop.
My understanding is that you're a strong supporter of Handshake. I think Handshake is a crock. It is fine for us to disagree. But you will disagree with me civilly.

Not that two wrongs make a right (nor did I state anything that isn't provable), but the insinuations started with your comment (including from previous comments) which was more than an insinuation but actually borderline slanderous (claiming fraudulent activity including stating things were sold that weren't owned, etc.). I also hope that you too will follow the same guidelines that we all strive to follow.

What about that comment is civil? What about your previous slanderous comments are civil? Finally, what about my factual statements aren't civil?
The guidelines require us to be civil to each other. They do not require me to generous or to assume good faith of Handshake. I believe Handshake is a crock, you do not. I'm not impugning you (as you did me); you are not Handshake, or, as far as I know, any of its founders. It is fine for us to disagree. I have the better of the two arguments and am very comfortable leaving it there.
Where was I impugning you? Can you point to the specific text/example? I'm genuinely curious and wish to have a better understanding of how you are interpreting and seeing things as I've asked the opinion of others and none seem to agree with you.
Despite what you claim in your slander, what [1] I [2] said [3] is [4] backed [5] by [6] fact [7].
Every link you've provided supports my argument. I do not care that Namebase donated $10MM in VC dollars to open source projects. The DNS roots are worth a lot more than $10MM. I do not care whether Handshake's coin is 50% premined or 15% premined. It's still premined.
Every argument I've seen in favor of Handshake seems to reduce to "well, the current system is indefensible, too". Stipulate that, if you like. Two wrongs, &c.
I think this discussion is over. You're all over the place. I was referring to you specifically saying I did something that you were doing, not all of these other discrepancies you may have, all revolving it appears around money.
