@SymTrkl @glyph Note that the next line is him shitting on Crowd Favorite, a company that was founded to bet on WordPress in 2007, long before anyone else was betting on it, as "a small agency"
History
As an original contributor to the WordPress Project, our founder, Alex King set the tone for Crowd Favorite's commitment to Open Source Solutions.

@jalefkowit @SymTrkl I suspect he is in fact sober but I have not really seen someone projecting this level of kinda-serious kinda-joking manic Posting Energy without truly monstrous amounts of stimulant abuse.
I mean scratch that I have _never_ seen energy like this before, that’s just the closest analogue I can think of

@iam_sysop @jalefkowit
So everyone else is organizing to fork, so Automattic is stopping maintenance of Wordpress core to spite them, fork continues to develop, Wordpress stagnates......... Automattic benefits, how?????

@be @iam_sysop We're way past rational strategic thinking now. This ship is on impulse power
-
My reading of it was basically either stop suing us or we're going to stop working on WordPress --
Which -- Matt's got his money - the rest of the people in that organization - probably not so much. They'll be the ones who feel it if the wheels fall completely off.
It seems like Matt basically wants to take his toys and go home, but is pissed that he can't because WP is way bigger than him. The logo, the name, and the money are all he has and that's useless on it's own.
-
@iam_sysop @jalefkowit Yes and that threat is just not a threat when they're already forking.

@be @iam_sysop I don't think any of these people have officially said they're joining a fork... yet.
It's more just unspoken subtext of what they _are_ saying. We want governance changes, we want product direction changes. When stakeholders in a FOSS project start asking for stuff like that, "... or we'll fork" is a sort of implicit corollary. Like, we're trying this the polite way, in hopes that we don't have to do it the impolite way.

@jalefkowit @iam_sysop Ah, so Matt is telling them to fork off when they weren't already doing that?

@be @iam_sysop I think he thinks he is calling their bluff. He is telling them where they can put the polite way. If they want the project to change course, he is saying, the polite way is not gonna make that happen.
