The issue here is that RAP cannot be reasonably evaluated. It takes me 2min to test out LLVM-CFI: clang.llvm.org/docs/SafeStac… there's documentation and it's well tested. I was so far unsuccessful at running RAP. While I'd love to evaluate it, I have limited resources :)

But you still haven’t answered whether you tried to email him? All of these problems would have been solved if he had helped, and if he didn’t, then that’s clearly his fault and you did everything you could.

I did not email him last week. IIRC we reached out ~2 years ago. He started this discussion on twitter so I continued it and asked for help. Instead of helping, he continued to insult, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Okay. @paxteam seems to believe differently, IIUC, and thinks that you never emailed. If you did, then I have to agree that you have limited resources, and it’s at least acceptable that you did what you did, given limited resources.

IIRC I started an email thread when he yelled at me over twitter the last time where I asked if we could meet in person to discuss (a couple of years ago?) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I did a quick search but don't keep very old email, so I may be wrong.

Also, I don't think our viewpoints are unmergable. These twitter discussions just end up being toxic.

what i find toxic is your personal attacks, lack of apologies when you're proven wrong and lack of responses to the apparently 'tough' questions i asked you (noexec.txt/FPValidator/your earlier RAP evaluation, etc in case you 'forgot').

We apparently see things differently. You started these discussions. I'm happy to talk via Skype/Hangouts/whatever or meet in person 🤗

why can't you answer my questions here in public? i hope you realize that refusing to answer them seriously questions your honesty and integrity (both at the personal and academic levels).

What do you think is left unanswered?
