This is a pretty terse reply, talk with him when... a month ago, or yesterday. I don't care for either side but I'm suspicious when people reach for twitter shame - it's more plausible that insta-pressure just forced him to drop his daily activities and immediately make changes to save face in public.

What are you referring to? (not rhetoric)

I reached out to him when I could've filed a takedown notice instead. Later, after the tweets, I even asked him to shake hands on the whole thing[1][2][3], but he was already sunk-cost-mode on and determined to die on a stupid hill. Only because I called him out is that we were able to had my git history restored and copyright attributed.

That refers to the forker's attitude following the tweets[4][5].

As a "prolific and known" open source personality you'd think they'd be more careful? Their attitude since then has left a lot to be desired.
