Up to this point, I was on the fence with regarding Eelco. I mean, I'm against the MIC sponsorship, yet I accept that sometimes a project doesn't take the direction I want, and I could understand that a leader has to compromise since part of the community indeed wants to go forward on this regards with the sponsorship.

Yet this post is really tone deaf. At this point, this is beyond the sponsorship, but recognizing that the community is split and addressing this issue. Important contributors have been banning each other on different communities, at least one important contributor has decided to step out of the maintainer role.

I'm a nobody on the nix community so is not like it even matters if I support Eelco or not, but this kind of response actually makes me worried about the future of the community.
