Tyrone,

Your post is a torrent of personal abuse, wild accusations, and 
unsubstantiated claims. If you believe this sort of behaviour 
constitutes "helping people," then I fear for the tone of discourse in 
this group.

Let me clarify a few points:

     Asking security-related questions is not stalking.
     Raising concerns about a non-App-Store macOS app with no visible 
developer ID and no reliable support mechanism is entirely legitimate. 
Especially in an age where trust in software must be earned, not demanded.

     Repetition does not equate to harassment.
     If an app's developer continually avoids accountability, or 
disappears without answering user concerns—especially after taking 
payment—users will ask questions. Ten years of avoidance doesn't negate 
the validity of those questions; it strengthens them.

     Personal attacks are not a substitute for arguments.
     Resorting to name-calling ("flaming turd," really?) and shouting 
about supposed bans does not prove anything. In fact, it suggests you 
have no substantive counterargument and are instead relying on invective 
to silence dissent.

If you genuinely cared about "helping people," you'd engage 
respectfully, share knowledge, and foster discussion—not shout down 
those who dare to question. Ironically, your unhinged response does far 
more to raise red flags about the app in question than anything I might 
post.

Your abuse is noted.

David B.
