> When you bring someone's dirt put in the public, not to support an argument but just to attack them because you don't like them, uou are muddying the waters.
To take the specific case of Rossmann, how is he muddying the water ? If anything, he is clarifying his position on stopping using GOS. It is important context, not "muddying the waters".
You yourself say that:

And Rossmann brought up the receipt to corroborate the GOS developer hostile behavior toward him, which was his argument.
And even if you take it further back to origin, the "Informative but unfortunate" comment, this was not targeting GOS's quality and claim of security. The argument in that specific case was the questionable behavior of the leadership, which you seem to agree was not a "conversation based on logic".
If some people can't be reasoned with, what is Rossmann supposed to do ? He "agreed to disagreed" and cut contact with the dev, kept the GOS situation under the lid as it was still a project he liked, but that was apparently not enough to keep that developer at bay ...
