You still haven’t owned up and apologized for using “you are gay” as an insult.

Because I literally never said that, ever, to anyone, not today and not ever, not even when I was an obnoxious teenager, right when homophobic slurs were all the rage and I didn't do it then, despite being called gay for not bullying kids for supposedly being gay. So no, that's not what I said and it's certainly not what I meant, ever.

It was just another straw man, increasingly clearly deliberate misinterpretation in your growing pile and another ad hominem non-rebuttal from you of any of the real points I raised.

Regarding "externally validated" status logs, I just don't know if I can explain a third way how an outrage which was reported as local to the Republican convention would be more likely caused by the local CDN servers or some DNS issue, not grindr's central servers. I don't understand why you're still looking for it there. The headline would have been "grindr goes down globally during RNC" not "grindr outage at RNC host city. Again. After all the other times."

Maybe check in a dictionary for some extra clarity on the distinction between "city-wide" and "globally"!

I notice how you didn't link me to Wikipedia or anyone (outside the gop) talking about downdetector being unreliable, and wikipedia only seems to be linking articles saying how quick it is at spotting outages and how sysadmins of large websites rely on them for information. Seems like the people who understand how the internet works disagree with you.

As I suspected, you're unable to point me to even a single instance of you ever claiming in the past that this or that status monitoring website is unreliable and not to be trusted outside of it being a story that's damaging to the famously homophobic Republican party.

I don't know what the source of your cognitive dissonance is about the gop conventions regularly causing localised problems with grindr, and I don't know how obsessive you believe outrageous dangerous commie leftist socialists are to go RNC-chasing just to create a spike in evidence of outages, but what I do know is that when something keeps happening again and again, to the point of it being old news, the plausibility to me of it just being a random coincidence or some vast elaborate hoax drops.
