@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org @lwn@fedi.lwn.net @arstechnica@mastodon.social @thomasclaburn@mstdn.social
You have repeatedly made false statements regarding our communications. I provided direct quotes to refute your bizarre statements.
You also have been provided several opportunities to correct or comment on the coverage (which included reading quotes from you, in context). As yet I have seen no corrections provided.
@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org "He's said I'm only welcome on the show if I can convince him it'll get views."
You made that up. What I said:
"As for inviting you on the show, there needs to be a reason to do that. Some worth while news story. Or at least an interesting or worthwhile discussion to be had in public.
Is there something else to discuss about the topic? Some vital piece of information which people don’t have? Or perhaps on the OSI topic? I’m open, but there needs to be a good reason for it."
@bkuhn@fedi.copyleft.org "he misrepresented my position"
What position was misrepresented? I offered you a chance to provide corrections -- and continue to do so.
Here's a quote from my message to you yesterday:
"I then read your public statements verbatim and in context.
If you feel that those statements don’t accurately reflect your views — or the views of others — feel free to let me know. If a correction or clarification is needed, I would be happy to publish one."
