Man, these people need to sit down and have a proper talk. It's embarassing that they've been fighting in public for so long. A lot of that sounds like simple communication breakdowns, even.
Every goddamn time there's a new step in these conflicts, my opinion of everyone involved tumbles.
Did you not read the entire page? They were in private communication. Linus stole a long GN article, Steve only asked for recognition instead of threatening lawsuits and Linus never responded.
I've read it.
Yes. Very unprofessional that the contacts in private ended up the way they did.
Also unprofessional that Linus thought Steve was ignoring him when he was just texting the wrong number.
But those sound a lot more like incompetence than malice to me. A lot of the story is things that could've been solved with better communication.
The "scale of blame" definitively sounds like it's tilted towards LMG. But I don't really care about that right now. What I care about is that I really hope they talk for real instead of trying and failing to understand each other by text/email and then involving the audience in their fight by taking it public.
I want them to talk like adults, and I want to stop feeling like I'm being made to watch a children's quarrel.
