I absolutely appreciate all the hard work you have done to make WordPress the software it is today. But you are coming across as a real dick. https://t.co/0VEURZ7BjI ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1887969361102782597)) - I have run my non-profit OpenDomain for more than 20 years. I have given domains to charities and open source Drupal, W3c, Google, Fosdem and recently https://t.co/MpPvRIS8Du to @BeastPhilanthr I am looking for anyone to help fight Fascists using https://t.co/2PgLrm2JPd https://t.co/hvkkW7xvjF ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888315798881751373)) - Lets chat. I would love to hear your story https://t.co/fy1dvNCyYX ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888316040020734398)) - Please note: I want to clear something up. When I transferred the domain https://t.co/JeygpiJEyP to @photomatt , it was NOT part of the OpenDomain project. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888317837787230339)) - No no no. There was no trademark when I transfered the domain to @photomatt However, part of the lawsuit was a trademark claim. The argument was that he had created the BRAND without a trademark. And I agree. It was like he dropped his wallet - I just gave it back. https://t.co/aPIspyLoSt ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888400401323397331)) - I lost. Literally everything. However, even when I hated @photomatt the most, I did not want the domain back. I hated him because he betrayed me. I trusted him to use it to promote open source. And in that, he was amazing. I hope that he continues to support open source https://t.co/Hr6uY6CbOz ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888403004153385106)) - Please let me clarify: I am not trying to dig up old dirt about @photomatt Since I have found forgiveness, I believe he has done an excellent job for WordPress. I hope the current situation can be cleared up and the community can grow from this. ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888068392424186241)) - OpenDomain is either the most idealistic idea I have ever had or the absolute dumbest. I am happy in that I helped open source. This includes Wordpress. Would I do it again? Absolutely not. No one cares about helping others. No one linked to OpenDomain like they promised. https://t.co/vSQBgPFlHf ([View Tweet](https://twitter.com/jsON/status/1888438372445618447))
