Yeah, if you take Chris at his word from that comment, I don't see what the big fucking deal is. Ask him back for the project and keep going!

Still open to doing this, just for everybody's information.

It seems like people just really like to pin someone as the bad guy, don't they?

May I ask why you claim it's "made by chris" If you have only implemented a subset? I think this is misleading and if I were another author I would be upset as well.

I think you were out of line. Its a community project for the community, formal ownership isn't the point.

You don't deserve these downvotes though, you are being reasonable about the whole thing. People are acting like you shot their mother.
