The sad story of how Automattic became the villain they painted WP Engine to be. A judge delivers swift justice for WP Engine - and more embarrassment for Automattic. What was the point of Automattic damaging WordPress and themselves - all for nothing?

If someone can confirm to me that Matt is no longer able to access Post Status, then I may consider joining for the first time. His unmoderated behaviour there has been the single biggest deterrant to me joining, and it is not a safe space while he is there.

If an English-speaking politician in another province said the same of a Qc francophone minister’s English, QC’s National Assembly would have already passed a unanimous motion condemning it & calling it “Quebec bashing” but I guess it’s ok if he gets to make fun of anglophones.

StellarWP cut my position today for budgetary reasons. If you know of a role that might be good for me, please send it my way. I’m specifically looking in marketing and community. Thank you! (No hate to Stellar or the folks there. These things suck, but they happen.)
