   if you feel that my critique of the Gemini protocol spec is totally out of line, then maybe address those details in your response. You don't *have to* tell me that I'm a horrible person.

     @bagder FWIW I do not think you are a horrible person and I thank you for all your work on cURL.

     P.S. Not all of them hate you and some people are taking some of your points onboard, e.g. see the final section of

     gemini://gemini.ctrl-c.club/~tjp/gl/2023-05-29-mising-the-point.gmi

     Or via a https proxy:

     But he provided the constructive criticism:
     
     - allow connection reuse for overall connection / TLS performance
     - be less ambiguous in the specs
     - actually version the specs so clients can be written to support a clearly identified target before evolving the specs further
     
     The Gemini community should do these things, but they probably won't

     @loke yeah, it's just annoying that there always going to be a small amount of people going nasty given the opportunity

     @bagder while that's true, the critique gave off an overall impression that you thought the protocol was worthless. It didn't come off as constructive the way a "the protocol could be improved in the following ways" post would have.

     I don't know enough to say one way or the other about Gemini, but I like the fact someone is trying to de-bloat the web and remove surveillance tools. I wish more folks working on the Internet would think less about corporate needs and more about individuals' needs.

     @bagder I read the critique. It's very good. I can only conclude that they don't have any arguments.
