I agree with you not the timing. Not the best.

However, the name of the post is "Is personal GitHub information public domain?"

Which prompted a discussion of the topic. This is simply what it is. I appreciate the opinions of others on this matter.

When I say hostile, the dev accused of sending unsolicited emails.

This matter has begun far before today, the initial request to remove the information came in Dec 21st.

It's not like this is the first day that this matter has been an issue.

I don't think you're a native speaker. That's okay, neither am I. However, if you had bothered to look up what "unsolicited" means (like I did), it's

> not asked for; given or done voluntarily

So he's using the word correctly, no need to "accuse" you of anything. If anything, his phrasing of "May I request that you please do not initiate. unsolicited mails to members of the github team" is very polite, correct, and quite reasonable.

I guess I didn't see it that way, as yes English is not my native language. So I initially took the response as negative and as an accusation, I tend to take accusations quite seriously.
