This is rather out of date and we've all moved past it. Me and Issac are cool now.

Response to comments by Issac Roth of StrongLoop
@Qard Certainly the (frequently edited) StrongLoop website often contains somewhat misleading text, like:

@nomdeveloper fixed
@mikeal @nomdeveloper I'm just a dev, so I don't have much say in the PR and wording of things. I agree that some of what has been said might smell a bit of corporate positioning, but we definitely are good intentioned. We're just a new startup, trying to get attention. Apparently it's working, albeit not in quite the way we intended.
When node started to get attention from big companies, Joyent would just bring Ryan into meetings with customers, sit him down, and say "we have that guy". We're basically doing the same thing with Bert and Ben. Perhaps that's a bit arrogant, but it's also true. Members of our team have made significant contributions to node. There's no denying that.
I'll be in SF this weekend mentoring at Startup Weekend, if you have any desire to speak in person. Feel free to reply here or DM me on twitter @stephenbelanger. Isaac will also be around, not sure what his schedule is though.
@mikeal Hi this is IssacR the person you're complaining about. :)
We could both be more precise in our commentary but I get the sense we both really care. Sorry for any harm done. I am adjusting and learning. Let's get together and talk it out. I live in SF so should be easy. I'll hit you on email.

@Qard sure, but the comments made by Roth don't echo the tone, content, or motivation your statements here have. I'm sure that we could talk this all out and come to an agreement but it wouldn't change the statements your CEO is making in public to the press.
