      The Tumblr (and WordPress and Automattic) CEO, Matt Mullenweg, banned somebody for life over apparently “explicit” Tumblr content, and that got backlash from the LGBT community.

      Instead of shaking it off like an adult,

      • Matt (allegedly) DMed dozens of people,
      • followed the Tumblr user to Twitter to argue there too
      • complained that the Tumblr user had other edgy/explicit usernames

      This man’s platform (Wordpress) powers most of the internet and he’s worried about catgirlballsack on Tumblr.
