Yes, it's petty stuff.

That's a rather large accusation to throw around. What's the context behind this?

To be honest I kind of regret my previous comment as I don't really want to bring up heaps of drama here, and also I can't be bothered to go looking for all sorts of links (constantly having GitHub accounts banned means its actually quite hard to do that unless you keep links around, which I don't; they always have the same profile picture so it's easy to spot). OTOH, it's also some important context I guess...

But to give one example out of several, at one point they strategically edited and deleted some comments on a small repo of mine (from before GitHub showed you the edit history) when I announced my (completely unrelated) full-time open-source project, to make me seem an asshole to try and get "revenge" for their perceived slight of denying a pseudo feature request ("pseudo" because they were spamming the same kind of feature request to hundreds, if not thousands, of repos).

I've seen this type of thing a few time with this person: an accusation that makes you go "oh wow!" and then you look in to things and it turns out it's either a spectacular exaggeration or outright misrepresentation (i.e. lying). Maybe they're right this time, but I can't even be bothered to look in to it any more.
