Nobody wakes up every day trying to be a villain
Everyone is the hero in their own story
The guy you think is evil
Thinks he’s doing the right thing
Much easier to understand how the world works when you fully internalize this.

But that's no reason to stop communicating or to dismiss any results, or participate in continuous harassment and abuse, or anything of that sorts. Whatever you call someone, if in the process you take all kinds of malicious actions and effort, then that shows the attitude.
They say actions speak louder than words. The massive amount of attacks against showed clearly negative, malicious action. I have been trying to gather information more than anything, and even getting a reading on the situation is hard. Now they tried to misattribute all my work. Those are not actions of good people.
As for this:
I respond to several years of coordinated harassment (and most likely abuse) with a single counter-action. Do you want me to be an all-out fucking coward, or do you want me to have some integrity and stand up for myself?
This exactly matches with my earlier comments, stating that I am held to double standards, where others are allowed infinite abuse, but you attempt to destroyed over a single countering action.

I am the hero AND the villain.
