It does sound professional, to be honest. His tone is measured, he explains his position, gives reasons for his choices, and offers a plausible timeline.

This particular piece of evidence is not conclusive, but neither is it in your favor.

That doesn't matter though. The fact he is retaliating in public over a post that only references public information, using private information, is inherently bad faith acting. The context is what makes it unprofessional.

Your posts are deleted so there is no way to judge what you said and what response it called for. If a former member starts an AMA to badmouth a project, I'd expect the lead to respond and give the necessary information to defend the project and himself.
It's indeed pretty scummy to dox you in what was a pseudonymous post.

Also other posts in this thread seems like victim blaming. Just because someone is famous doesn't make him a good person.

You have the burden of proof exactly backwards.
