".@grsecurity Did you seriously just IP block me on your site? Please tell me this is a coincidence and you're not a 5yo throwing a tantrum." Wow.

How do you obtain someone's IP address over Twitter? This can't be real.

Responding to criticism of a patch by blocking a user feels just...childish. Doubling down on that childishness by first blocking anyone on twitter who likes/faves that tweet, and then by switching your twitter account to protected feels even more childish. The Grsecurity team needs to calm down here, because they aren't giving an appearance of a professional team with exchanges like this.

Yes, this was a petty pissing match. However, responding to criticism by IP blocking him, and then blocking anyone on twitter who faves/retweets it is just ridiculous.

I promise you that "the grsecurity team" does not care whether they have the "appearance of a professional team".
