> the texts strike me as clearly passive-aggressive and threatening and inappropriate. To me, anyway. I agree. My point was that we only see the texts WP-Engine wants us to see, rather than the full conversation. For example something like this: "Matt: Hi there! I'd like to discuss the possibility of WP-Engine contributing back more developers to the WordPress codebase; right now I feel you contribute back very little relative to your income, and we could really use some help on WordPress" "WP-Engine: Fuck off you twat" Would of course put Mullenweg's communications in a rather different light. Or maybe Mullenweg really is just going off the rails. I don't know... But I'd be careful to judge too quickly without all the facts. Whatever can be said about Mullenweg's communications, that Cease & Desist from WP-Engine also did not impress me and seemed more like a blogpost by their CEO rather than a legitimate legal complaint written by legal professionals.
