This happens over and over in these discussions. It doesn't matter who you're citing or who's talking. People are terrified and are reacting to news reflexively.

Hi! Loved your recent post about the new era of computer security, thanks.

Personally, I’m tired of exaggerated claims and hype peddlers.

Edit: Frankly, accusing perceived opponents of being too afraid to see the truth is poor argumentative practice, and practically never true.
