> Taken as one instance of a broader, ongoing pattern of targeted harassment of several individuals, the combined set of public complaints make the CoC reference not at all amusing.

Having read more about all of this it sort of just seems like two dudes that hate each other.

Like for example the Adafruit guy’s complaint that the Sparkfun guy was presently posting about the domain and meme thing was objectively correct, Sparkfun guy posted a screenshot of it in his thread about the Adafruit guy (it stood out because the ‘Gen X hackers want to be Spider Jerusalem’ bit made me laugh out loud. Amazing burn, no notes)

It’s all kind of funny because

Are these dudes going to stop hating each other? Probably not.

Will they stop talking about each other? Probably not.

Will Sparkfun cutting off Adafruit make them stop hating or talking about each other? No.

Will this decision help customers of either company? Maybe? I would guess no but we’ll see I guess.

Like it seems like they should either hire reps so they don’t have to personally interact or just sue each other.
