Can't help but read that and think, "And Nick thinks this email chain makes HIM look like the reasonable person?"
What am I missing about Nick's behavior that is unreasonable?

#433Never cared much for either. Both are just insanely overpriced "maker" crap that ultimately comes from China anyway. You can get cheaper at AliExpress, LCSC etc.
Adafruit manufactures its own PCB's in New York, though the actual chips, leds, etc. come from wherever, which is often China.

This is not acceptable behavior on this forum.
Don't bother interacting with them. Just flag them and move on.

#436I read a bunch of the relevant social media posts and emails and concluded that all parties are acting deeply childishly. Nate shouldn’t have made a website with a domain name with Phil’s name and photoshopped meme, and brought it back up on social media years later. Phil shouldn’t have been so aggressive in emailing Nate’s and his wife’s employers. Sparkfun shouldn’t have overreacted by cutting off ties with Adafrui…

Spinning an IMXRT1062/IMXRT1064 design sans the terrible Teensy bootloader should take a day or two at most. These chips have perfectly-fine ROM USB bootloaders and SWD, don't ruin them by adding extra garbage.
The layout of the Teensy 4.x was challenging as I recall with the speeds involved. But maybe you are a demigod of compact high clock designs.
USB HS on a board that small is a non issue: it's one measly differential pair with easy impedance requirements.
