Mullenweg Criticized for 1st Amendment Claims

Mullenweg on Sunday published a blog post claiming that WP Engine’s lawsuit against him and Automattic is an attempt to “curtail” his “First Amendment rights.” He wrote: “WP Engine has filed hundreds pages of legal documents seeking an injunction against me and Automattic. They say this about community or some nonsense, but if you look at the core, what they’re trying to do is ask a judge to curtail my First Amendment rights.”

Mullenweg ended the post by stating he will no longer comment on the lawsuit filed by WP Engine but encouraged others to speak up in support of his side of the dispute.

Mullenweg ended his post because his lawyers have finally managed to make him stop saying boneheading things which act only to strengthen WPEngine’s case. And because of that, he’s sulking and claiming the whole thing violates his free speech rights.

What’s the betting he comes out for Trump at some point?
