So, it began with "QABA is the same as BCBA."

Then, it became "QABA is better than BCBA because of other things being done in other parts of the world."

Then, he made the mistake of laying out in a rebuttal the point that was made regarding lesser education and supervised experience being required to become a QABA.

Then, more doubling down on diversity and things going on elsewhere in the world.

Then, it became about shock - which is already illegal in Virginia.

Now, there's allegedly a federal lawsuit, submitted by a failed politician and failed journalist who has a penchant for claiming credentials he doesn't actually have (such as BCBA or Professor).

Doesn't appear that there is very much solid substance to anything of this.

What hasn't changed is that the BCBA credential requires greater educational attainment and greater supervised experience than does the QABA credential.  Another thing that hasn't changed is that, unlike the QABA, the BACB does not list on their certificate registry the names of individuals whose credentials have expired and not been renewed.  They don't have to.  It's a solid credential, that those holding it wish to renew.
