"And the basic problems with trust are the same whether it is 2009 or not.
I do not trust you!"
Well, axod who runs mibbit is a respected HN contributor who works very hard on his client and is also available to chat/help often in #startups on irc.freenode.net
You however, I have no idea who you are and the fact that it looks like you created this account just to take a stab at axod makes me wonder who you really are on HN and why you have a bone to pick with him.
These kinds of actions do not engender trust in someone.
In summary, I'd be more likely to trust axod over you.
EDIT - for those reading this comment later, when I read the above comment, the comment was written "40 minutes ago" and then I checked his profile, it stated that the account was created "42 minutes ago", so that is where the perspective comes from. It appears like he created the account just to say something nasty.
But he has earned his trust with HN community. I have not been around that long haven't earned your trust but that just supports my point about trust vs technology and his stupid "enable javascript you *" message. As I am new to your community, he does not have my trust yet and does not deserve any based on what I know about him so far.
That might change over time but so far it seems he is making web a bit more unpleasant for people who do not throw themselves to the sharks by blindly enabling javascript to whoever asks/orders to.
I browse with JavaScript disabled, and agree that enabling it is about trust.
However, I fail to understand how axod is making the web "a bit more unpleasant"? His message is humorous, and offers more value than no indication of required technologies at all (which is how the majority of sites deal with issues such as JS dependence).
Clearly you do not use mibbit on a regular basis, and therefore what use is your overly critical contribution?
