Harming WPEngine is not even beneficial to Wordpress anymore.

With the level of revenge matt is applying you'd think WPEngine murdered his dog or something.

It just makes no sense.

Avoiding the embarrassment of backing down and admitting he is wrong.

Apparently that's worth burning down his life's work and legacy for.

It gives him an excuse to behave the way he's always wanted to.

So far as I can tell, when Matt talks about "the WordPress Community", he means:

  - Matt
  - the people who didn't quit Automattic last week
  - _maybe_ the WP core developers who don't work at Automattic, so long as they keep their criticisms to themselves
And the community of people who _use_ WordPress to run their websites, and the people who help them to do that, and the 3rd party plugin and theme developers who make WP work for so many different kinds of websites - can all go and get fucked.
