I side with Azer on this one. We're not talking about a domain name here. This is an npm package name and the sort of confusion that Kik suggests woldn't happen if they write clear documentation.
tempest in a teapot
bad code pulled from npm
whiny, preachy developer
seriously, read the e-mails that were exchanged, we're dealing with a brat throwing a temper tantrum

This comment leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Regardless of how he handled the situation (not well), I'm uncomfortable with what happened. Kik were quick to mention legal ramifications. Azer lost a project.
Everybody loses.
On top of this - it doesn't serve any benefit to badmouth individuals like this. It reads a lot like "preachy developer whining about some other preachy developer".
