This is completely bullshit

a community than is supposed to be ran on maturity and sharing is now being governed with an iron fist.

if kik wanted that name, they should have offered honey first, not vague threats of lawers

if npm wanted to arbitrate, they need to be neutral and not be for either side (IE don't say you need to pay 1M for the pleasure, but don't just hand them the name).

the guy was an ass, but kik started it all off by being an ass

The problem is that trademark law pushes kik to be asses here. If you're not seen to defend your trademark publicly, you can lose it. So lawyers are constantly looking for trademark violations. And when lawyers find them, they usually start with legal threats.
