But I think it’s worth mentioning that at the time, Matt tried to take care of the domain. However, the attempts failed which is where some people could argue that he should have kept trying.

This wasn't just some site infringing on the WordPress trademark. This was a malicious domain whose sole reason for existence was to exploit WordPress installations. There should have been no "giving up" or "moving on to other things".

Look, the other 230 .com/.net/.org domains infringing on the WordPress trademark are another matter. Many probably didn't find out the TM usage rules before registering the domain name. Some probably did, but didn't care. But as far as we know, none of them has been used as an on-going, active exploit mechanism for WordPress installs.

Three years ago, I was successfully having copyright-infringing content removed from websites. Little, old, nobody me - successfully navigating hosts' TOS and complaint-resolution systems, to protect my own copyrighted work.

If I could successfully defend my copyright and have infringing work taken down, surely WordPress could have successfully defended its trademark and gotten a patently malicious domain taken down - if it had been given the proper priority.

I'm not trying to bust Matt's chops here, but at the same time, I don't understand defending three years' worth of negligence - which is what I get the impression that you're trying to do.
