Not really, I think both guys in the issue discussion are obviously very smart, and I can identify with their respective frustrations.

I do think Jake's comments are a little harsh as the README refers to Phantom Open Emoji in the 2nd paragraph -- however if I had just spent hours debugging something like this, making an annoyed issue on GitHub could be the outcome.

Why should they? Jake already revealed his full name over at Github.

Not uncomfortable, but disappointing that someone, who founded their own company, would lash out to someones work that decided to share to the world for free.

There is being rude, and there is being down right disrespectful.(which has been displayed in that comment)
