Are you claiming that Kieran and Anton are lying? And all Kieran did is quote 
a mail that he sent to you. Care to explain how that adds up to "[you] did all 
kinds of bad things"?

All the while, you did recently accuse Kieran of doxing for merely citing 
publicly available and (then) contextually relevant info. That's libel in my 
book, or a "bad thing" as you call it.

You also accused VideoLabs of trademark infringement, potentially also libel.

All I did in this thread is call you out for nit-picking semantics instead of 
making substantial arguments against Anton - because that's exactly what you 
did.

If you don't want people to call you out on your bad behaviours, then don't 
commit the misdeeds in the first place.

In this very same mail, you tried to use my own words against me and took an 
IRC joke of mine out of context to misrepresent it as an attack on Anton. 
That's _not_ nice.

In such circumstances, that so-called "good will" looks to my addressee self 
more like either gross hypocrisy, or serious pathological lack of self-
awareness. And thus you're making things worse rather than better.
