Exactly. It strikes me as the same sort of entitlement dynamic that so many open source project maintainers face. "You gave me a free thing? Well it's wrong and you should give me a much better free thing. For free!"

I don't mind people wanting things. We all want things. But I think it's a problem when that crosses the line into expectation or demand.



Where exactly do you believe I "demanded" anything? I simply mocked YOUR demand (funny how this ended in me getting criticized for being demanding...) if someone dare even ask who these founders are, they must give her a six figure sum...


I did not in fact demand anything. I said explained a way that people could make whistleblowers more comfortable if they really wanted more information public.


Okay, great. Thanks for the contribution in telling anyone that if they want to know information they should offer a stranger six figures. Great contribution. I was clearly wrong.


You have really gotten the gist of my point. Good job, random anonymous internet dude. I am so relieved to finally be appreciated.
