Except that it was from the founder of Wordpress. A much better response would be to actually get Matt to backup what he says. Ask him to show how the WP team have improved their security in the last 12 months and what they're planning. And besides -- it was a direct, on-topic response. (He responded to a comment saying that automattic needs to make security a top priority..... by saying that security is a top priority) I wasn't having a go at the auto-killing of comments (although I agree that there are some more valuable comments killed). My concern was the piling-on against the relevant players in the article/post in question.
