  What an asshole.

  Reading it I'm not sure if this is just a unilateral communist-style purge or an actual fork launch (or both). Here's hoping the fork gets off the ground and removes most of the pressure creating this nastiness that isn't helping anyone.

  Just pointing out with gpl forks, if egos will allow it, code can be shared both ways. That's much easier if bridges are still standing.
