Seth GoldsteinWhat is with “Post-Economic” people lately? The judge in the WP Engine vs. Matt Mullenweg et al. case just ruled on the injunction in favor of WP Engine.
And… well Matt Mullenweg rage quit the Post Status, a WordPress enthusiast Slack group in a major huff.
Now I get being upset. The judge didn’t rule in your favor. But maybe that’s because you’re actions aren’t as altruistic as you want people to think. Maybe acting so brashly and publicly isn’t the best course of action. And I get it, trying to stay quiet isn’t easy.
But throwing your hands up and taking your toys and going home, is a bit childish.
Matt continues to forget that even though he owns the trademark, domains, and is head of a three-person foundation, that WordPress is so much more than just him. It’s a huge community of passionate and very opinionated people.
WordPress powers around 40% of the websites online. That’s a HUGE burden and stressor for any one person to take on. It’s also huge if Matt goes nuclear and blows up the whole project, which I (hope) he’s not going to do.
Let’s wait and see how things turn out as the dust settles. But my God Matt act your age, man.
