    This to me more sounds like I have made up my mind to not like this guy or his product and nothing will change this.

    That’s a really unfair reading of the situation. People aren’t obligated to listen to us and change their minds. As long as they’re willing, sure, do your best, but no means no. Vlad seemingly doesn’t understand no. That’s not good, and added to his previous insights, I can understand why the author wouldn’t want to enter a call with a such a person.

    most of the issues being discussed are nit pickings at details and fights on being right or wrong on things that really don’t matter

    It might help if you elaborate, but right now I can’t agree. For example, Vlad’s views on privacy and biases are kind of wild (no suicide hotlines numbers because they’re biased but also put LLMs everywhere) and that matters if you’re going to use his product to search information online (and possibly his e-mail service as well).
