I read a bunch of the relevant social media posts and emails and concluded that all parties are acting deeply childishly.

Nate shouldn’t have made a website with a domain name with Phil’s name and photoshopped meme, and brought it back up on social media years later.

Phil shouldn’t have been so aggressive in emailing Nate’s and his wife’s employers.

Sparkfun shouldn’t have overreacted by cutting off ties with Adafruit.

Except Paul.
