In reply to: Heather Burns’ response to the WordPress drama

I doubt Heather remembers the one-and-a-half conversations we had six or seven years ago, back when I was knee-deep in WordPress world. She’s a really impressive person, and people would benefit from paying attention to what she has to say.

The fact that Matt Mullenweg seems to view her as a key player in an imagined conspiracy to undermine his authority over the WordPress project, and has banned her from participating in a community she left years ago, speaks volumes about Matt, his character, and his fitness to lead an open source project.
