Hi Miroslav,

Do you fix other company's problems whenever you have a gripe about their products or services? Can you name other open source applications that try to guilt users into donating their time and labor as much as WordPress? For example, LibreOffice , GIMP, VLC Media Player, Audacity, or Mozilla Firefox? Or if someone complains about your company or services, do you respond by asking them what they've done to fix your company's problems?

Do you also get upset if business owners post critical comments about companies such as Verizon, Comcast, Microsoft, or Facebook? Or do you only find it upsetting if someone criticizes WordPress, and if so, why? It's odd that WordPress experts get upset if you criticize WordPress. It's like you've insulted their religion or mum. But it's just an application that has no idea who you are.

Do you disagree that WordPress has gotten far beyond it's original blogging-only mission, and that it's become overly reliant on third-party themes and plug-ins, and that oftentimes leads to lock-in? Or that improvements/fixes take far longer then they should? I bet many new website builders and CMSes take less time to create from scratch then WordPress's new too little, too late editor Gutenberg will ultimately take.

If it upsets you to hear from WordPress content creators, then why not start your own blog and only allow flattering comments about WordPress from non-content creators?
