              There is no need for hostility.

              NordVPN has documented issues with:

              • longer than necessary data retention
              • a past data breach that it didn’t disclose to users for 18 months
              • third-party sharing of data with analytics and advertising partners
              • an illegal subscription enrollment model

                Indeed. There was never ever any need for the unnecessary hostility you started with here. It shouldn’t take all this for you to Be nice.

                  In what way do you perceive my words here to be hostile? I said only that I suspected you were kidding: I assumed you understood that NordVPN is a famously bad VPN. Again, it hid a data breach for 18mo.

                  You, however, accused me of an incapability of sincere thought, which is hostile and insulting.

                  I have not been hostile or rude to you, despite your hostility and brashness toward me. I struggle to see how you are offended, or how you took an imagined slight as justification for verbal rock-slinging.
