> decision to be reasonable

I'm not sure "We have given you 72 hours (starting on a Friday afternoon) to figure out how to mirror everything you need, and to have completed the mirroring process, and then the block is back. And updates? Sucks to be you." qualifies as "reasonable" in any sense of the word, though.

The page no longer includes that language. It now simply states "We have lifted the blocks of their servers from accessing ours, until October 1, UTC 00:00. Hopefully this helps them spin up their mirrors of all of WordPress.org’s resources that they were using for free while not paying, and making legal threats against us."

So, the original draft (which you saw/see?) clearly came from Matt; the reasonable version that's now on their website almost certainly came from Legal/the rest of the board.

I believe the person you're responding to was creatively summarizing Matt's sentiment, not providing a direct quote from the post.
