What a choice, and what poor timing. Companies that make breaking changes on holiday weekends aren’t going to earn much goodwill from developers.

- photomatt 2y agoNothing has broken. Perhaps WP Engine should have consider that before suing us.
- clessg 2y agoI'd normally never say something like this, but: seek therapy, man. Seriously. This is not normal. It will end badly for so many people, including yourself. It may not be too late.

- NeonNautilus 2y agoI don't think punishing people for suing you typically plays well in court. Especially not if you, you know, publicly announce that's what you're doing.
- everforward 2y agoThis was my reaction as well. This sounded like tortious interference before, but to blatantly announce that he’s trying to kill someone else’s business, for exercising their legal rights no less, sounds like a summary judgement waiting to happen. There is no dispute over the facts here if Matt is just going to announce his intents. I cannot imagine his rage when not only does WPE not have to pay him, but now he’s paying them.
- throw16180339 2y agoThere won't be a Wordpress community left if you continue as you have. What does the board think of your actions?
- maxbond 2y agoI've vouched this comment. I don't think we should be flagging this comment; it's not particularly out of line, and there's a significant interest in the community seeing Mullenweg's comments.

- wongogue 2y agoPlease proceed, governor.

- taikahessu 2y agoBusiness is war, I get it. But you chose to make innocent bystanders (your users) life difficult and you crossed a line by stealing code with an excuse that everyone sees through. This looks now more and more of a personal vendetta.
- mmsnowsniff 2y agoCan't wait for Matt to read this in a deposition. At this point, the dude seems to be intent on running up the highest tab possible.
- bombcar 2y agoThese are clearly the actions of someone who is sure they'll win the lawsuit. (not)
- grodriguez100 2y agoTrust is what has been broken. Childish.
- yard2010 2y agoThere must be a timeline in which this is de-escalated, compromises are being made and everyone's happy. In your perspective - what does it look like? What could be done to go the opposite way and keep going? Also, I'm surprised to see people only siding with WP Engine here. Usually the discussions here are much more balanced.. What do you think could be the reason for it?
