You are so missing the point. This isn't about your interaction with John Levine. You came her asking for feedback (after an extensive and very unprofessional rant) and you got it. Just because you don't like the feedback doesn't mean people are "attacking" you.

This is so irrelevant to NANOG. Please stop.

Literally everyone attacking me here. Could you tell me why? Because I have been rude to John Levine, right? So you all think you have the right to give me "mob justice". But as an innocent man I have to suffer all John Levine attacks because he is a most valued member of NANOG. Is that what you are all saying?

There is only one regret I have in this situation. I shouldn't have been rude with Töma Gavrichenkov and Suresh Ramasubramanian. That's because they didn't know what happened between John and me 6 months back. Most probably they would never have behaved with me in the way John behaved. I wasn't paying attention to that part. When I noticed the word "50 words", I thought they are mocking me too.

@Töma Gavrichenkov and Suresh Ramasubramanian

I don't think I can go back and correct my mistakes. But trust me. I do regret for my words. I'm really sorry for being rude with you two. Take this as my sincerest apology. You two deserve that.

@Everyone

It sucks when you sit on the "humiliation" chair when the mistake is not yours. I'm a farmer's son from a third world country, yet trying to contribute to this world in the way I can. 

Asking for feedback is not a mistake. But I have been attacked in multiple lists for that. This is the only thread I was rude and cocky. 

What you all think I spend my time only in attacking others? Have you ever noticed my other threads? I usually give respect to everyone. But I can't give respect to people who don't care about others feelings. What you all think, I'm a heartless man?

One guy was attacking me for my poor english skills. Excuse me for not being poetic in my paper. I studied in my local language. English was an alien language to me. I started to learn "English" only in my early twenties. I just turned 30. This is what I picked in the past 10 years.  

Just because the ball is in your court doesn't mean, you all can throw at me in the way you can. I explained what happened between John Levine and me in my original post. That's because I don't want this man to go and create another thread to attack me or meddle in my efforts.

I'm a guy who spend day and night in working on things I believe. I'm definitely not gonna turn into a Mark Zuckerberg. But I'm gonna make a difference to this world one way or another.

None of never completed my paper. Most probably you have no idea what's in it. But you all think you have the right to attack me, because I was rude with John? This is an engineering community. Don't convert it into a "Prison Brotherhood" where the new guy always has to bend over.
