I guess you can learn something new after 36 years.

If you are referring to what you quoted, your pedantry and sharpshooting would result in an incomplete English sentence: "that's why we have the responsible disclosure" is missing a noun. Now that we are firmly in worthless pedantry:

Protocol (n):

1.a. a system of rules that explain the correct conduct and procedures to be followed in formal situations

1.b. a set of conventions governing the treatment and especially the formatting of data in an electronic communications system

If you don't like what I said or disagree, poke holes in factual inaccuracies. However, in the reality that I am pretty sure we all share, responsible disclosure is a well established protocol that is followed by many security researchers, and was imperfectly followed here.

I don't think you're going to bluff your way through this.
