There's a strong current of people who believe the WP fight with WPEngine is bad on this guy's behalf. He's megalomaniacal, he's being a spoiled rich guy, stuff like that.

Personally I don't see it, but I may not know enough about it. But I see this as a part of that conversation. Someone's arguing that fighting with a private corporate business whose model depends on exploiting the software they have no intention of supporting is outrageous and he's Gone Too Far.
