Comment by techbro92

The profile you responded to "techbro" was made 3 years ago, has 102 karma (i.e. 1 upvote every 10 days, on average), and has never submitted anything - zero submitted articles or profiles. My profile was made 12 years ago and has 3,118 karma (approximately averaging an upvote every 1.4 days) including lots of submissions of stuff I made, for example this Show HN that I was pleased to see make it to the front page with 36 points and lots of positive comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43141139 (the resource itself is currently offline as I've temporarily replaced my website with 50 reasons why it's wrong to disrupt communications between a husband and wife. I'll replace my website as soon as this issue is solved.)

Right up your alley, I've actually written a cryptographic case study of some of the dynamics of this, I've just sent you a copy of it (you and I were in touch before - it was very well reviewed by professional cryptographers.) In your reply to this, please acknowledge your receipt of my email, and if you can, print it out as well, as it can become inaccessible later.

Of course, there are a lot of NSA-affiliated people who could come out of the woodworks to support parent's slander that I "sound paranoid and schizophrenic".

The reason they don't? They're witnesses in the FBI case and don't want to go to prison themselves. The FBI has already handwritten over 10,000 affidavits in this case. (They are writing by hand to avoid electronic tampering with evidence.)

I am not making a media story about it yet, which would be the next step, so there are no articles about this yet.

My reason for not doing so is not to bring extra attention to the case, but simply to solve it in a straightforward and expedient manner.

Don't do this. We don't diagnose people on HN. Just flag the comment and move on, or, if you're worried, mail hn@yc.

(I'm not a mod, just someone who cares a lot about this particular rule.)
