Is the reddit user "BaronHK" the same person who posted http://zammit.org/libreboot-screwup.html or just someone quoting it? My sense is he's the latter, but I'm not 100% sure.
In any case, the zammit.org statement sounds like it's a more believable reflection of the libreboot community. All the libreboot.org stuff reads too much like one perhaps-toxic person getting up on a soapbox.

Quite possible, and sadly seems to be happening more and more within the FOSS world.
Thanks so much for this context. There is also an official statement regarding the firing itself:

Those emails look sent drunk or angry.
The first one does not look like it was proof read. I don't always proof read everything, but important ones I don't leave with an obvious typo.
Anyhow free software will carry on.
