yeah. This was the tweet.


That status is gone, whatever it was.


I made a few pointed comments about his tone, which may have led (I hope) to the retraction: https://twitter.com/fulligin/status/687865366744150016


The response to that, even, is pretty remarkable:

> I react badly to hypocrisy, a known weakness. You should be a maintainer for a week and decide for yourself :)

I'd say that's pattern matches as a humblebrag, except it's more of a... faux-humble pointed insult? "Apologizing" for tone and managing to call someone a hypocrite within so few words is... I struggle for words. Impressive? It leaves an impression.

Good for you for standing up.


Tweet is now deleted :\
