@Jane Wells - No one actually thinks the DDoS or the threats was coming from the core team. My point is that you as an organization ain't vocal enough in the condemnation of the actions. Your outrage that fans could ever do this and damage the WP community image in such a way is limited with the basic "lame" comment. Lame is making a caricature of Kevinjohn getting spanked with a WP logo. DDoSing his website is beyond lame. Cybercrime, cyberbullying and cyberattacks is way beyond lame but thats just me.
