I forgot nothing, but you seemed to forget whose comment you were attempting to bolster. I “flamed” the useless injection of CVEs that attempt to legitimize someone’s point about the insecurity of a protocol, when that tiny amount of CVEs for a technology the world uses quite heavily almost unanimously point to poor implementation-specific issues, none of which inform the security or risk of the protocol itself, adding useless data that doesn’t further a conversation on security.

“No one is saying webrtc is insecure”? That is literally what the comment was doing, which you attempted to legitimize by listing browser-specific CVEs.

Someone pointed to a car fire and said gasoline caused the fire, and you posted pictures of car fires. There is a reason a Fire Investigator (like a security researcher would) considers the difference between what started a fire and an accellerant. WebRTC was not the cause of these vulnerabilities like you are trying to imply and like the opinion you attempted to legitimize.

“I don’t care” — clearly, if you couldn’t take the time to understand the difference, I’m not surprised.
