I too found it perplexing, and agree it's the right thing to call it out. As you and hu3 noticed, the methodology and continually spamming the same old posts and websites when the language is mentioned is consistent. When looked at as a whole, it comes across as an continual effort by certain parties (and wherever or whenever possible), to bully others for having different preferences or paint a very misleading and negative picture about Vlang (V-lang) for their benefit or purposes.
It's odd how obvious slanderous remarks and insults directed at developers (like grifter), in addition to provably false statements (like vaporware) are being pushed about the project (like language is unusable), don't seem to get removed. Somehow, that gets left up. Not just here, but other threads too.
Yet, attempts to directly refute or at least push back on the barrage of misinformation about a clearly popular GitHub project get flagged, downvoted, or removed. Don't think that would at all be tolerated if such was done to other open source developers and languages, nor for as long (many years).
It isn't right nor is it fair.
