Recently I had an experience on another website where one of the founders basically insulted me personally because I made a sarcastic quip.

Another founder contacted me by email and apologised. It was dignified and mature of them to do that.

And so I consider that matter closed, which is why I am not going to name names here.

The contrast is unflattering and it's a shame.

I really, genuinely, wanted to like WPEngine.

It looks as though those tweets were not aimed at this story, but rather at a different story on HN yesterday.
