wonder what new tantrum from gruber brought this on

  An addendum to this post: http://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-common-markdown/ http://blog.codinghorror.com/standard-markdown-is-now-common... Edit: after a long and thoughtful email from John Gruber – which is greatly appreciated – he indicated that no form of the word "Markdown" is acceptable to him in this case. We are now using the name CommonMark. It doesn't sound sarcastic to me.

    how was I being sarcastic? Gruber could have skipped the butthurt party by replying to an email sent by the standard markdown team, instead of ignoring them for weeks. He refused communications, reading them to read tea leaves and guess what he might want. Like I said, tantrum. It's behavior expected from a child.

      I wasn't talking about anything you wrote, Atwood's post does not sound sarcastic to me. He calls the email leading to the newest name "long and thoughtful". That doesn't sound like a tantrum.

        The obvious suspicion is that Atwood was merely being diplomatic when he described Gruber's email in those words...
