Dude, have you actually implemented a SINGLE THING yet?  All you do
is posture and make bombastic claims, but this `hangar 18' thing has
been around for what, over a year now, and hasn't produced one single
thing of merit.

I know this is going to come as a shock to you, so brace yourself:
No one listens to you, because you're all talk.  If you had produced
something six months ago, maybe some people would have listened.  But
you didn't.  So you've lost all credibility.  Now would you please
get lost?
