  _I'm_ not dismissing him as a ranting loon. He makes some valid points if you are capable of looking past the adrenaline/testosterone-fueled syntax. Your dismissive reply to his post is arrogant, at best.
  
  Rather than his post being "an over reaction", I think the resulting furor shows that your saying "The rollout could have been handled better by SixApart" is an understatement of epic proportions.
  
  I think the best assessment of this whole MT license thing can be found here:

  MT users seem to have made the mistake of equating a free version of the software with Open Source software, which it is (and has been) NOT. The way Six Apart handled all of this just woke a lot of people up to that fact.

• It's a kick in the face.

  Don't like the sound of it? Tough. I'm using blunt language to make the point. Dismissing the obvious is how people get into these situations in the first place. They pissed off their users, that's unforgivable unless they're an easily marginalized minority. And by the looks of it, they miscalculated horribly.
  
  Dismiss your users at your peril.
