Bro was a pejorative friend. To be clear I never attacked you. Not once. I called your arguments into question, but that is what we are doing here. I believe your reasoning to be specious.<p>&gt;I&#x27;m a piece of shit because you disagree with me, but it just so happens that you&#x27;ve been all over this thread with a continuous stream of purposeful mis-understandings and&#x2F;or downright trolling.<p>This is just not true. I called you that because you tried to do just that to me. A quick re-read of all my comments and I&#x27;m sure you&#x27;ll see I never made any personal reference to you. Now if you consider me telling you that you are incorrect an attack then I&#x27;m sorry this is something you&#x27;ll need to get used to. In this case because you are wrong.<p>I&#x27;ve offered you ample opportunity to proffer a statistical argument, but all you can give me is &quot;if I didn&#x27;t build its not safe&quot; Sorry friend I just don&#x27;t trust you. I&#x27;ve been doing this a long time and I don&#x27;t trust myself.<p>I never told someone to do something &quot;cause I said so&quot; but then again you never address the meat of my position. &quot;Cloud providers have much lower failure rates than you historically I trust them more than I do you when building my understanding of the risks&quot;. Its trivial to undermine my position. Show you have lower failure rates than a prime time storage provider(bonus points if its amazon).<p>Lets just a get a few non sequitars that you can&#x27;t seem to get your head wrapped around. I never said don&#x27;t have a back up. I said the back up in the cloud is the most durable one.<p>I never said amazon couldn&#x27;t fail. I just said the chances they fail vs. you are orders of magnitude lower.<p>I never said you were bad at your job. I said you seem to have a shaky grasp on statistics and possible a fair amount of NIH syndrome.<p>You are correct my anecdote doesn&#x27;t prove my point, but it provides anecdotal evidence to corroborate my statistical position.<p>I didn&#x27;t say &quot;don&#x27;t be open or transparent&quot; I said pulling a persons personal details into an internet argument crosses a very clear line.<p>Get over yourself and remember not everyone that disagrees with you is trying to undermine your career. But you step over a line with you get personal and start pulling personal details into an internet conversation.
