I have no horse in this race, but this blog post seems like the hot-blooded vitriolic ramblings of a crazy person that can’t mentally separate their commercial and open-source endeavours.

The outrage definitely feels at least somewhat ‘put on’ for the sake of publicity. Who cares!?

No kidding. I have never seen a news article from a large serious organisation that had the word "bastardized" in it before.
Yeah - even without much context this blog post reads like an embarrassing mess. I hope the author thinks it was worth tarnishing the Wordpress brand so they could enjoy their king-for-a-day meltdown.
