It is a breath of fresh air to see people that stand for what they believe, it feels good to draw a line and respect it.

The problem I think is with those who were involved over the years and who believed that the “Community Code of Conduct” governs WordPress overall. And realising that it’s a chymera and they were fools. It’s hard to accept you were a victim and it’s even harder to continue to support leadership that does not follow the rules themselves. This is basic “leadership” knowledge, people won’t follow you if you’re more ‘equal’ than them.

All this said, I feel obliged to mention that although Hawaiian pizza doesn’t suit my palette, I recommend trying pineapple + fresh jalepeno + pepperoni (NOT ham- that’s what distinguishes this from Hawaiian). It’s incredible.

That said, if Matt hadn’t removed this from the login form, I wouldn’t have ever logged in again, same as when he added the WPE loyalty test (despite the fact that I’ve never given WPE a single red cent). Because in spite of his apparent delusion, he doesn’t own my loyalty as a (minuscule) contributor to WordPress. And if there was a version of WordPress that excluded him and his lackeys I would contribute to that instead. …Please!
