What was the best case scenario (in your opinion) for this message?

My mission is to speak the truth, ONLY the truth.

I don't mind ruffling feathers along the way, especially in regards to JGC, who is actively taking steps to destroy the FOSS principles of the LuaJIT project.

I'd sooner see myself banned than retract or apologize for a single character of anything I've said thus far, or plan to say soon.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but there are lots of ways to speak the truth, and on HN you're expected to do so civilly and substantively. Personal attacks are especially not allowed.

Sometimes people justify their uncivil, unsubstantive comments by posing as warriors for the truth and so on, but this is silly, because the truth isn't served by such posturing at all, and rudeness makes a comment less persuasive.

Read that back and ask yourself how many commas you really needed.

All this is being driven by Mike Pall who created LuaJIT.

If you really think that I, personally, am "actively taking steps to destroy the FOSS principles of the LuaJIT project" then get involved on the Lua mailing list and ensure that whatever principles you want are maintained.

The biggest disconnect I have with you is that you are asserting that I am messing up the FOSS nature of LuaJIT but I don't see how moving it to Github (with Mike's help), getting people involved as widely as possible etc. is doing that. What, specifically, are you concerned about in what I/CloudFlare are doing?
