Were you using your real information when you signed up? Were you using a disposable / privacy-first credit card? Did you try to obscure your name or register from a VPN? You're very upset at them accusing you of abuse or fraud, but you haven't actually made it clear whether any of the signals you provided them when signing up were aligned with what they'd usually see from abusive or fraudulent users.

It's a selectable style at any time in Claude.ai, FYI!

I assume you're being downvoted because it is absolutely impossible to understand what the point you're trying to make is.

I'd recommend finding more important things to be disturbed by.

WPEngine is already suing Matt, so this will get added to that pile, it seems like.

Eventually you are going to have to confront that the distance between 'technical correctness' and 'moral correctness' is vaster than you apparently think it is.

The mental gymnastics you keep doing to defend your boss are impressive, and I'm sure will reflect well on your next perf cycle!

The fucked thing is that per the article, they're not even dedicating any resources to maintain it going forward, they've just made this one fix and are throwing it to other people to maintain if they want:

> Going forward, Secure Custom Fields is now a non-commercial plugin, and if any developers want to get involved in maintaining and improving it, please get in touch.

So, the ACF plugin is a useful contribution to the WordPress ecosystem? Significant enough to warrant bringing it in-house now? Is work on it included in your assessment of what WPE contributes?

Your shift of signifier here from WP Engine to Silver Lake is interesting. Clever tactic, private equity money is BAD! Unless it’s… I dunno? Black Rock p/e money?

Why don't you mention this in the post at all?
