I'm a bit surprised by his attack on you, on a tech board no less. Is there some history between you two that I don't know about? (or forgot, happens a lot lately LOL).
I see things differently. Assuming no posts were deleted from that thread, it appeared to me that dkbit98 refuted QS's comments based solely on his reputation. QS's reputation aside, I've always thought of him as somewhat technically astute, and his questions in that thread were valid. Perhaps the question about about dkbit98's involvement in the project was a loaded one, I don't know. Even if it wasn't I can see how dkbit98 might have interpreted it that way.
I will say that I believe dkbit98 has had a short fuse lately, he attacked me a couple of weeks ago. Maybe I deserved it,
I was shilling spyware, after all.
The questions about dkbit98‘s involvement in the project came after his attacks. I don’t think it is u reasonable to conclude that dkbit98 is shilling for the project based on his attacks. The initial questions were reasonable as you note. In addition to the conclusion of dkbit98‘s inconvenient, attacks on someone asking basic questions should tell onlookers they should be asking more questions.
dkbit98 had a history of attacking people that disagree with him. See his interactions with Lucius, HCP, ~DefaultTrust, and I would not be surprised if there are others.
