I think there's no point in discussing this on the mailing list, as it's off off-topic (and the topic seems mostly closed).

But I'm not seeing the "attacks" here still. If the discussion is tense
after he both states Flycheck's strict superiority and his firm decision
never to contribute to Emacs, well, that's kind of expected.
But not to the extent that could explain the phrasing in his subsequent
blog post (now long removed). I was puzzled; he never responded to my
comments then. And yes, he's pretty great hacker, so it's all quite sad.
