I’ve been following this closely. Not to be a scaremonger, but after Matt Mullenweg’s last post on WP Engine, the underlying financier Silver Lake started doing opposition research on MM trying to undermine him. I view this as a pretty scummy tactic, but not unexpected from a PE firm trying to squeeze as much profit out of whatever it is investing in. That being said, HN seems like a prime place for astroturfing public opinion from a place like Silver Lake, so use some caution when taking some of the pro-WPE, or anti-MM, posts at face value.
