    I also don’t like to be wrong, so I understand why you’re lashing out. And oh for the love of God please don’t listen to me about passwords! I’m not a security professional. I’m just saying you should listen to the people who are, not just go with your gut feeling about what a safe way of securing your online life is.

      Lashing out =/= defending myself and refusing to put up with your bullshit. I said why I don’t use password managers and you enter the conversation being a sarcastic asshole. I don’t have to put up with that, call it lashing out or whatever the fuck you want but if you can’t handle the heat then stay out of the kitchen. Now fuck off already.
