My impression is that Bullenweg.com initially provided a timeline of events but took on a progressively more active stance as events unfolded.

This culminated in a made-up addition to the timeline entitled "Matt announces acquisition of Bullenweg.com" complete with a "quote" from Matt (there is a footnote within it mentioning it is fake).

This seems to have been the last straw to the lawyers representing Matt to step in and threaten a libel suit (or similar). The result is Bullenweg.com folding (for now) since this could get real expensive real quick.

The above is my interpretation of the events - I have no further inside insights.

It still was a timeline of events. A single joke, clearly mentioned as such, does nothing to change that.

Furthermore, the doxxing threat obviously wasn't made by lawyers. The style of writing has Matt Mullenweg written all over it.

Parody is absolutely fair use, and it doesn’t have to be footnoted even. This is how The Onion survives.
