#2The developer’s twitter pic is distracting. He has a point but I have a hard time taking him seriously. That’s just me being an old man i guess.

#3"The consolidation of our infrastructure is dangerous."
Have we not learned our lessons yet, by boiling, basically, the entirety of the internet down to Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit? (And maybe Amazon.) The trend in the US capitalistic system towards monopoly is inescapable, and harmful in so many ways.

#4If true then it’s bad faith use of open source at MSFT and not typical of them. Have you tried contacting Scott Hanselman - @shanselman on Twitter - or anyone else via twitter instead of “normal” channels? One of the great things about the Devs at MSFT is that they are very responsive on twitter. If someone was being a douche with your code then the right people haven’t gotten the message yet.

Only if you ignore pretty much all of Microsoft's history.

#6I would like to see proof of this rather than unsubstantiated claims.

Clearly you ruffled some feathers, but I have to agree. Microsoft playing nice with open source is a very new phenomenon.

Sounds to me like a fork that isn't being heavily worked on and the repo should of just been private. It's probably not ready to be fully worked on and probably had goals for a different direction than the original project. What's sadder is that nobody at Microsoft didn't just try to contact the original project to try and collaborate. There's too many layers to the onion that is Microsoft that its hard to tell. Best way to find out is to have contacted the maintainera of the forked project I would say.

Homosexuals are people, just like you and me.

Hanselman is another shill. I was exceptionally intimate with the .NET team at one point. It is literally the case that they have devised a system where code is stolen, or poached, by the younger engineers and then "cleaned up" by "senior" devs. Senior devs then take the credit and bonus and things like that. Microsoft changed how bonuses are given out internally. It's literally a money slider that is arbitrarily set. Naturally, there is a bad "gang" (that will even gang stalk you!) within the group and yes: Its the .NET team (not the core group, but they hang in the build and tooling systems). This gang has no problem stealing from open source for their own monetary gain.
