  He appears to have replaced the original post, which was a lot more ad hominem: https://archive.ph/UZZit https://archive.ph/UZZit

    Funnily enough, your archive is already a friendlier version, there is one with even more ad hominem: https://archive.ph/7ZRbY https://archive.ph/7ZRbY

      > I’ll just remind everyone at the start that this is a respectful debate, and DHH and I tried to get on a call but couldn’t because we were both traveling. > DHH claims to be an expert on open source, but his toxic personality and inability to scale ... Yep, real respectful. I don't even understand the point of the post, other than to shit on the other guy. It doesn't advance any debate or raise any questions.

    The post as it is now sounds really decent and a step in the right direction. Let's not air all the dirty laundry happening here, it looks like Matt is trying to do the "right" thing here. Here is the current iteration of that post from Matt: "I’ve taken this post down. I’ve been attacked so much the past few days; the most vicious, personal, hateful words poisoned my brain, and the original version of this post was mean. I am so sorry. I shouldn’t let this stuff get to me, but it clearly did, and I took it out on DHH, who, while I disagree with him on several points, isn’t the actual villain in this story: it’s WP Engine and Silver Lake."

      but content is sacred right? /s he can link to his original post and put the clarification alongside if that's the case. i can change my mind if his actions show he's trying to do "right", but that takes time. for me, it's very important to know that he was even capable of writing the original post.
