Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

Wanting certain language in press releases, wanting us to code shit for them, wanting us to cite very specific papers (that state they released the first genome), etc, etc. Whenever we push back, they threaten to remove access for outbreak.info - same bullshit they have done with pretty much everybody else, including NextStrain. Difference isthat I'm not Trevor and unlike him, I don't give a fuck - burn the house down if that's what it takes!So tired of Peter's bs - and so is everybody else.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Will mainly be an expose of Bogner - seemingly making things up for ages - but GISAID will clearly be dragged through the dirt I sent him sequence release GISGATE stuff on background

    Bogner sounds like a complete fantasist I told him the GISAID are getting increasingly out of line

    He's such a joke - we're dealing with a whole mountain of GISAID bullshit right now and I'm gonna go to fucking war with them if this continues.

    Yup - have him reach out. I have had beef with these guys for years because of their bs practices.

    Lies and other BS: quickest way to short term gain - it ALWAYS catches up.
