I don't think it's inappropriate. I thought he was American and his english seemed a little bit off on his blog posts. I'm not American myself so I do know that not everyone speaks english. However, not everyone is launching an e-mail service. I think it's important to understand the "politics" of launching a service. You'll be judged for what you say, like it or not.

If you read this thread you'll see that I encouraged him in my first posts. I continue to do so, and did recently on a thread he made on reddit /r/privacy (if I recall correctly).

My comments on his grammar should not be seen as personal attacks but as suggestions for improvement.

So yes, I'm Russian by nationality, who lives in USA for more than a decade. We probably can agree that quality of the product can not be determined by how well developers know writing English
I never mentioned your blog posts on this thread "scryptmail".. If you go back, you'll see that I gave some suggestions and asked some questions. Don't take my post about your grammar/english as an offense. Take it as an advise, a suggestion.

I'll be testing your service further since I'm in need of another service like yours. I already have enough accounts on tutanota.de :P


EDIT:

One suggestion:

I think you should create an "about" section, somewhere on the site.
