Is there really nobody in the Wordpress.org organization who can provide a check on this kind of behavior? Or do they really collectively share this Matt character’s attitude toward professionalism?

Yeah, the WordPress foundation is just a façade to pay less taxes. If it were a true Foundation worried about its users Matt wouldn't do so much shit

Well, clearly there's someone who can provide a check box at least!

Wordpress is free as in owned by Matt Mullenweg. He has control of the Wordpress foundation, owns wordpress.org, etc. There aren't any adults who can put a leash on him, although I wonder WTF Automattic's board of directors is doing.
