If true then it’s bad faith use of open source at MSFT and not typical of them. Have you tried contacting Scott Hanselman - @shanselman on Twitter - or anyone else via twitter instead of “normal” channels? One of the great things about the Devs at MSFT is that they are very responsive on twitter. If someone was being a douche with your code then the right people haven’t gotten the message yet.

Only if you ignore pretty much all of Microsoft's history.

Clearly you ruffled some feathers, but I have to agree. Microsoft playing nice with open source is a very new phenomenon.

Sounds to me like a fork that isn't being heavily worked on and the repo should of just been private. It's probably not ready to be fully worked on and probably had goals for a different direction than the original project. What's sadder is that nobody at Microsoft didn't just try to contact the original project to try and collaborate. There's too many layers to the onion that is Microsoft that its hard to tell. Best way to find out is to have contacted the maintainera of the forked project I would say.
