I don’t know why you would find it funny; You brag about trying your best to do exactly that:

“[…] it's what the security team at one of the few large tech companies that actually have [DNSSEC] enabled told me when I asked why the hell they had it enabled.”

Oh, I absolutely have it as a goal! It just shouldn't be possible for me to singlehandedly succeed at it.

I agree. You have even stopped responding to rebuttals entirely.

And yet here we are! Your own source says I'm the prime mover. You better get smarter about convincing me to like DNSSEC, because if you don't, your project is doomed!

Your old post about DNSSEC has been thoroughly answered, many times since it was written. Many points you made are now invalid, because things have changed. But you refuse to respond to modern arguments for DNSSEC. Even here, you only respond flippantly and derisively, ignore all arguments, and only talk about how you are the subject of attention. There are other people who behave this way, but they seem to be getting less and less approval lately.

Two things.

First, you're the one who brought up this stupid article claiming that I'm singlehandedly responsible for the failure of DNSSEC. Not me. Next time, don't cite it!

Second, you have a funny definition of "thoroughly answered". People have written posts disagreeing with it. Their arguments are not persuasive. Clearly, for the last decade or so, my arguments have been carrying the day. You can't just write a rebuttal and declare the debate over!

DNSSEC proponents are weird about this stuff. Someone else took me to task for not point-by-point including their rebuttal article in my original post, like that's a reasonable demand to make.

> Their arguments are not persuasive.

Really? Then how would you counter them?

> You can't just write a rebuttal and declare the debate over!

True. But if a rebuttal does not recieve any counterarguments, from you or anyone else, then the rebuttal stands.
