You’re going to have to learn to live with your disappointment. Pseudonyms are intrinsically insincere. That’s what’s meant by the prefix “pseud-” from the Greek for “false.” I called a commenter out after he accused me of engaging in the very behavior in which he’s engaged: not being candid or sincere. I said what I said and I stand by it. If he (or you) would like to engage the argument in what I wrote, I’m here for it. But don’t accuse me of being “disingenuous” and expect no push back, especially if you’re using a fake name/profile pic.
