If you point to any lies told by me, I would love to correct them.

No one has told me to come here and defend anyone. I work at a part of Automattic that is isolated from anything WordPress — I don’t have to be here.

I am defending values I believe in. I am trying to make sure correct information is out there.

You are free to not believe that of course.

If Microsoft took over an existing GitHub repo, would those values be the same?

The correct information is that your employer created the security problem as part of their shakedown attempt. They then banned the WP Engine developers from Wordpress so that they couldn't update the plugin. Now they've forked the plugin, removed the commercial upgrade, and renamed it.

I'm not sure where values come into it. I'd be ashamed to work there.

What values are those, exactly?

[bombcar]

US dollar values deposited into the accounts every paycheck, I assume.

Automattic is an open source company, albeit one controlled by a melodrama villain.

Some people have better things to do with their life than win internet arguments, man.

You're values are doing open source dirty.
