A few years ago, I fell in love with the WordPress community, as I have spoken about. Even my wife sees people she has never met, as family. The people I have had the pleasure of meeting in the WordPress community have made a dramatic impact on my life, and I thank you all, but some of you have become the thing I dread each day.
You know, I used to enjoy checking Twitter and see what many of you are up to. Now, I scroll through occasionally; only to usually see some kind of bullshit labeled as #wpdrama. Some of you are nodding but haven’t the slightest clue of what I’m talking about. I’m not protesting those who bring up controversial topics. I’m protesting those who slap a #wpdrama label on something and sweep it under the rug.
To be fair, I went through this same thing years ago in the Lotus “yellow bubble”. It was a dark time for me personally, but I took myself out of it and am now in a much better place. Does anybody remember the term “attack kittens”? Again, this is way in the past and you really need to read the article. Bubbles are everywhere and some now call them “pimples” that need to be popped.
I highly recommend that you read this post by “Jeff Matson” entitled “An Open Letter to the WordPress Community“.
