It's not strange at all?

Imagine you walked into a group of people, talking about one thing. You started talking about something completely random and different. They want to continue their conversation, you keep interjecting with questions about your random thing.

If they could, they'd probably turn you off so you couldn't talk, or go to another place to talk about it.

That's precisely what happened here.

I would imagine that was because the comments are intended for discussion about that particular issue, not for random users to jump in with wild conjecture on its impacts. Honestly not that strange.

he was nice enough to answer the off-topic question, and the person who asked decided not to believe him and continued to take the discussion further off topic. The only good way to handle that sort of thing is to lock the thread.

> But then refused to say more

What more is there to say?

What's the fear? Aren't all passwords encrypted on the server side?

Not quite. CloudFlare is available to users of Google Cloud, but Google services don't use CloudFlare.

The only exception I could imagine would be some service that was brought in as part of an acquisition but has not yet been migrated to Google's internal platform. Obviously not applicable to products like Gmail or other core G Suite apps.
