Can you provide detail on this?

I think I would have said something.  Any time I'm writing a description 
for Optech about an attack that affects existing Bitcoin software and 
was responsibly disclosed, I back link to it from a special page [1].  
In cases of ambiguity about whether or not an attack was responsibly 
disclosed, I investigate.

I'm sorry this feels to you like harassment.  To me it feels like 
whiplash: I inferred responsible disclosure based on your original text, 
learned it might not have been, and now am being told by you that it was 
indeed responsible.
