What do you personally have against him, posting this on HN and reddit?
Sure the guy isn't the most polite person in the world, and his definition of "projects" are a bit of a stretch, but, seriously, look at, say, the jquery.dataSelector.js "theft exhibit C" and tell me how else you would keep code that you found in a blog post in a github repo.
Sure, maybe it'd be courteous to just add a comment saying where code came from, but some things in that "exhibit" list are MIT licensed, and afaict, those don't even require attribution to the original author.
Re: "His "say.js" is just a shell-out to the Mac's "say" command."
Yes, but they're 15 lines of code he wrote. Hardly a "project", but still, not anywhere near "theft" either.
Can we move along now?
