Considering how unreasonable he was in that thread, I'm assuming he was just in a bad mood or something like that. Except now he's on the front page of HN with tons of comments criticizing him and painting him as a bad person.
99.999% of people will probably forget this by tomorrow, but it still would suck to be on the receiving end of this kind of attention I think.
However the MIT license dictates what can or cannot be done. No need for further drama.
Seems like he does give back his knowledge and time to the open source community. Much more than me I can tell you, and probably more than many of people in thread.
What he don't like is people expecting support from him in ways that differ his initial distribution methods, which makes sense when time is a limited ressource and he clearly has expectations on how he want to spend it.
