It is great feedback. Feedback that you failed to execute on in a spectacular manner. You've lost my group as customers today. In no way will I knowingly support a founder with such a broken perspective on prior art.
Toxic in what way? It's OK for the CEO to publicly fly off the handle expecting this to go away due to his big stick he now wields because he's successfully leveraged the work of giants to his own fortune?
A gracious response? No. His apology was not an apology at all. His apology can be distilled down to: "I'm sorry, but I'm still right - and I'm only sorry because the community has called me on it."

This is toxic. The man made a gracious response.
Let's be honest here... Failure to talk to someone about it and then being forced by publicity to do so - is forced, thus inherently disingenuous.
With the backdrop of publicity - I just don't buy the apology. Maybe next time Amjad will be better, but now - he's on the hook.

Toxic? Or warped perception?

Unfortunately the crowd has turned into a mob... not the first time we’ve seen this. Wait for the cooldown and hire a PR professional.

yeah we were talking about repl.it earlier today at work and wanting to increase our usage of it and this is really souring me
Really? How did he fail to execute on it?
