Yeah, once someone posted a link I could read, I saw that. Bummer, looks like they ripped it off and sounds like they're currently doing the usual backpedal. Sorry your project got the wrong kind of attention in this way, I also (eventually) read into your tone while reading through your repo, and I understand much of it is tongue-in-cheek. It softened my position a bit. Hope you enjoy better luck in your future endeavors.

The appropriate thing would be to revise your initial comment.

What about my initial comment is incorrect?

Edit: Fun fact, I cannot edit my original comment. But over-zealous flaggers seem to have taken care of it on my behalf. Unclear as to what about that comment deserved flagging, I guess raising concerns for the OPs admittedly problematic project is broadly the same behavior as the racist troll account who was previously active in this thread. Well done moralizing my original moralizing. The irony is…well pretty mundane in this case, really.

You could name a project any number of completely weird and absurd and offensive names, and it would have no bearing on the matter at hand, which is that code was illegally stolen and relicensed without the consent of the author. This is not a moral issue.

You yourself admitted that your original comment was harsh after the author responded to you.
