Thanks for posting your side of things. Now that things are settling down a bit, maybe Google will un-ban your other sites.

		<description>Hi, I&#039;m Chad from Hotnacho. 

 I&#039;m largely responsible for this mess.  Although apologies and explanations are much less interesting than scandals and allegations, yet here&#039;s my lengthy attempt.

 http://hotnacho.com/wordpress-fracas/ 

 A lot of incorrect information is bouncing around -- even by supposedly authoritative sources such as GoogleGuy. The internet has a weird way of evolving fact out of conjecture and supposition.

Regards,
Chad</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve just starting using WordPress this week, and have not long started blogging. Ok, I&#039;ve been using the web for 10 years (yes, since when Netscape Navigator was at version 0.96n) and blinking text was cool.

I&#039;ve seen &quot;tens&quot; of blog entries about this issue today. I don&#039;t feel duped for a second.

If there was a poll, my vote would be &quot;I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s a**&quot; -- there are more important issues in the world and my life to care about! Sadly, most polls have Yes and No, without an &quot;I don&#039;t care!&quot; option.

So what? Yeah, maybe a bad combination of events given the way the blogosphere works ... but trivial in the real scheme of things. And it&#039;s now &quot;all in the past&quot; anyway.

Definitely time to move on. Given other major world events this weekend, I&#039;m sure this will be forgotten very very quickly.</description>

		<description>Absolutely. We are so lucky to have Matt, frankly. At Livejournal (I have a mirror account), customers have been mocked openly by the owner/creator, and status messages are often peppered with complaints about his having to fix whatever problem that has surfaced re: the servers, the codes, etc. I was a beta tester for the (now old) new version of MT, and was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hauntedpalace.net/wordpress/archives/2004/07/20/1079/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;lied to&lt;/a&gt; in that capacity by the owner/creators.
Matt&#039;s a stand-up guy, period. And not perfect to boot (thank God :D).</description>
