This is rude and plainly horseshit.

We still have the web at all basically because of Wordpress.

I have been critical and I dunno, maybe I spoke fully out of turn, though it was from real concern.

But reading this makes me regret saying anything.



>We still have the web at all basically because of Wordpress.

I strongly disagree with the premise.

Aside from that, "WordPress" is 100% controlled by one guy. A guy who has repeatedly demonstrated total and complete disregard for the community. Ergo "we" don't "have" WordPress; It's something we're allowed to use (until Matt decides to ban us for an arbitrary, petty reason that doesn't even require articulation).

That's not something that belongs to a proverbial "we". That's the point.

It's rude but...the Steve Jobs self-insert stage entrance is straight out of The Onion.
