Cute. But it misses an important point in Jeff Atwood's original post, which was that John Gruber got actively hostile when someone else extended his Markdown code in a way he didn't approve of. If nothing else that was in poor taste.

- pkaler 17y agoThat's not completely true. Atwood misrepresented Gruber. Read this part of the email thread: http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2008-March/001188.html http://six.pairlist.net/pipermail/markdown-discuss/2008-Marc... Gruber states that he doesn't have time update Markdown and forks should be clearly marked as such.
