I don't think you're wrong; but I don't think you're right to leave because the process of reconciliation is not complete. 

Ian's choice of words is sometimes not optimal, usually terse, and occasionally audience-specific.  In this case, he's reassuring the non-W3C whatwg contributors that they will continue to find the same welcome for their involvement and help.  Don't let it deter the w3c participants!
