[theme-reviewers] What do you think of this author url

[Bryan Hadaway]

This is ridiculous. Why is this even up for discussion any more? The name
is legit, the site is legit, the theme is legit. In any case, Chip, an
admin, has spoken on the subject. This just sounds personal and petty.
Don't be subjective, be objective.

Doesn't matter what the domain has been through in the past, that happens
sometimes. Frankly, the behavior of some on the review team going to great
lengths to investigate this matter seems more questionable than this
person's choice in a URL/site/brand name which is really none of our
business anyways. Can you say witch hunt?

If anyone denies this theme based solely on it's name/URL (given that you
only subjectively don't get it or otherwise disagree with it) as apposed to
it actually having design or function flaws you're ethically wrong, period
and this is what will need to be examined further. As Chip said which
anyone with half a sense agrees with, words have many meanings, especially
from culture to culture or even person to person, especially creatives.
Look at how many words we simply make up on a daily basis.

If this is somehow found to be spam later, remove it. It's hardly creating
a precedence for spammers, who's going to know, who's going to care? Look
at the scrutiny that's already put on the themes, look at how many themes
even make it into the repo in the first place. I think the world of
WordPress theme reviews will be fine.

Thanks, Bryan
