Sometimes they aren't even factually correct and get a bit upset about it when called out.

Anyways, I have gotten the same impression and these seem like red flags to me as well.

Which is why I'd take everything in that response with a mountain of salt (and I'd pay attention to what they're not saying).

		What exactly is accurate? Have you seen my reply to that? Hardware kill switches cut power and prevent any recording.

		Yes, I don't like when anybody spreads falsehoods about any important free software. Do you? However your example is unrelated. Their arguments were rather reasonable and informative in the discussion you linked to. So I don't complain about that anymore.
