<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><b>@Emil</b> - So, you tell us we cannot discuss here in-list and should post in-ticket:<br><br>"This discussion is inappropriate for this list. As noted few times here if you have any questions please add them to the ticket directly, not here."<br>
<br></div>So, we do that and then you tell us it's inappropriate to do that? Then you create unnecessary rhetoric about this being simply an issue of CyberChimps Vs PageLines. And because of this, you're just going to ignore all legitimate issues raised by "competitors". Any of us at all that develop themes, which is most of us, are technically competitors.<br>
<br></div>And besides all that, you're the one who alerted me to the original DMS ticket in the first place!<br><br></div><b>@Admins</b> - I have never in my life wished so much that I didn't work for CyberChimps (because I love working there), just because this is going to be used to discredit anything that's said. This ticket (<a href="https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14369">https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/14369</a>) is spiraling out of control fast because of unnecessary rhetoric created on all sides. Can we please get you to step in and forget who said what and simply look at all the facts?<br>
<br></div><b>@Community/Theme Developers</b> - You guys are the ones that raised this discussion in the first place, don't let this be cheapened into some sort of unfounded petty attack by CyberChimps and let that be used as some sort of catalyst for special treatment or exceptions to allow a theme that none of us could get approved, approved. You guys can see all the issues here just fine without my help.<br>
<br></div>This is not and never will be just some personal issue, this effects us all. If we allow a free theme to be accepted who's pro theme abuses and takes advantage of users in the form of restricting usage based on how much they pay and also forces them to continue paying indefinitely or their theme will be handicapped creates a precedent that we're all allowed to do that.<br>
<br></div><div>Even if some loophole in the GPL has been found, while I don't think so because this so obviously and blatantly goes against everything the GPL stands for, this is still wrong!<br></div><div><br></div>It's so incredibly absurd that I have to try so hard to do the right thing when that's the entire point of this review process, to protect users from these kinds of things.<br>
