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.
