Ok, so what's the drama? Because it's obvious that there was some drama there: "inappropriately involving a SparkFun customer with a private matter," "Responding and forwarding offensive, antagonistic, and derogatory emails and material."
My guess is someone was trying to hit on someone and got mad when they were rejected.

- buellerbueller 10mo agoSparkfun is publicizing the enforcement of their code of conduct, making it a public issue, which is a bizarre position to take. Usually, when there are violations of things like this, you don't discuss it outside a need-to-know basis. They are inviting us to ask for the tea.
- behringer 10mo agoAlso it implies that the other side has already made public accusations that sparkfun wants to set straight. What's that info, if any?
- timmmmmmay 10mo agoif they didn't want people to speculate on the details, they could have released a more professional message instead of what they have here. seriously the level of unprofessionalism at this scale of the market is shocking. you can't imagine e.g. Nvidia putting out a press release like this when they drop a vendor
- mosura 10mo ago> you can't imagine e.g. Nvidia putting out a press release like this when they drop a vendor nVidia used to have a much worse reputation than that. Companies did not work with nVidia because they liked doing so.
- gedy 10mo agoI'm not involved with this specific case, but in general it's annoying when people blast some vague passive aggressive accusation publicly, but then retreat behind "it's a private matter! Respect our privacy!" when people are then naturally are interested in what happened. It's frequently cover for a weak argument.
- PunchyHamster 10mo agogiven that they didn't even present actual violation in the blog it is very suspicious
- Dangeranger 10mo agoThis post [0] suggests that leadership at SparkFun has been engaged in a long term harassment campaign targeting the founder of AdaFruit (Limor Fried) using company resources, and is allegedly using their CoC as a smokescreen to cover up their own bad behavior and cast blame on the victim.

- hitekker 10mo agoCan you explain that link a bit more? People are implying it shows crazy unhinged behavior but my quick read is just someone posting their annoyances.
