While WP Engine is in the wrong ethically, it doesn't make what Matt is doing right.

The issue is that Matt is showing that he can impose any rules he wants on anyone who he doesn't agree with. It's an authoritarian behavior that concerns everyone, not just WP Engine.

More importantly, it is petty and childish behavior as seen in his posts. How can anyone trust a man-child like that with an important piece of infrastructure.

He did all of this during the last day of a conference.

So rather than inspiring the WordPress community to push forward and do good things, he spent an hour just antagonizing and shaming companies that literally sponsored the conference.

This is like when Elon Musk cursed out advertisers on Twitter.

Sponsoring a conference is just buying an ad, not actually supporting anything
