I don't know if DHH is wrong at all in this case.
All he did was write two blog posts, which were rather fair to Matt all things considered:

It's also obvious from this post that Matt didn't actually bother to read the blogs closely. Most of the points Matt makes about Ruby on Rails or trademarks in his "response" were already addressed by DHH himself.

#63Saying nothing is always an option. It’s too bad that Automattic won’t consider that option because over the last 24 hours this has gone from embarrassing to nasty. I didn’t expect a supply chain attack yesterday. And sure didn’t expect Mullenweg’s reply to DHH to be so childish.
Matt cannot help but just continuing to attempt to post through it. I'm seeing him all over the place in HN or even random Youtube video comments. Honestly feels like he's pretty... unwell or otherwise distracted/trying to distract.

#66>David, perhaps it would be good to explore with a therapist or coach why you keep having these great ideas but cannot scale them beyond a handful of niche customers. I will give full credit and respect. 37signals inspired tons of what Automattic does! We’re now half a billion in revenue. Why are you still so small? I'm just going to tell a little story here. A long time ago, I worked on a recolorable Drupal theme, w…
I just read the links you gave about the port and I wanted to say I'm just sorry for both you and Stefan Nagtegaal. What a gut punch to not even get to release your work in the way you intended before it was taken. Ugh.

Re: Response to DHH
#69I never thought Matt's unhinged behavior would make DHH look sane, and private equity look reasonable, but here we are.
I guess it's a good thing I moved to Hugo a year ago.
