Historians will probably name this escalation as the point where ww3 started. Even though it already has I guess, with all those proxy wars.

Imo, the problem is that wpengine is a direct competitor to mullenberg's own commercial exploitation of the open source stack WordPress. He also owns automattic, which offers WordPress hosting, just like wpengine. If you ask me, the owner of the open source stack shouldn't alss be able to dictate which other companies make money of it, when he does this himself with automattic, aka WordPress.com.
Then again I'm only involved through my profession. Privately I enjoy ghost.org.
You do realize, mullenberg is also owner of automattic? A large WordPress hosting provider just like wpengine?

He has some points, mullenberg, but the fact that he's one of three really only active heads of WordPress.org and ceo of automattic, which has wpengine as its direct competitor, just tastes foul.
I like to think that he forgets, keeps trying and then makes a new post about it
Can you Anglo-Saxons stop hating each other? One was so prude they left, the other stayed and fought the prudes where they went. Still the same kitchen. /s
This is actually a map of the Netherlands and I'm from there. I'm also old enough to remember a time without mobile phones. This was probably the call centre for triple AAA, in Dutch the ANWB. We had these emergency telephone poles along the highways. When stranded (car broke down) and without a map you could easily call aid through them with these phones, which they also knew where they were, for easy dispatching.
Really dark, but logical.
