Zack Katz, fellow WordPresser, [wrote a great post in response to Automattic and WordPress Co-Founder Matt Mullenweg’s recent behavior.](https://katz.co/11616/)

I don’t want to weigh in too much, nor do I want to rehash something that’s being rehashed everywhere.

I do want to say is that Matt needs to watch what he says if he doesn’t want to drive people away from contributing to the WordPress.org project.

His behavior definitely put a damper on my wanting to get more involved. At least for now.
