    Lol. I tried going on Twitter recently to respond to someone who commented on one of my blog posts, but was told I “clearly hadn’t read the article.” 😂 Good lesson to stop trying to engage over there.

    There are so many toxic and fake accounts there now.

      One time in my career someone did that to my face. I clearly didn’t understand a particular finding, but that’s understandable, I’m not in the “security” community, but heres an article I need to read to catch up on the issue before contributing the conversation.

      I told him that since he has the paper open, he can just look at the authors for a second. He changed his tune to that while I may have made the finding, I clearly didn’t really understand it

        My reply guy did the same kind of redirection, pivoting to something like “typical dumb Linux user”.
