Having read a bit about this dispute and the parties involved I think the best settlement prospect for this lawsuit is to set everybody involved on fire.

Waste of a perfectly good fire.

Prometheus doesn't get his liver ripped out every day by an eagle, for you to not set shit on fire.

So if I follow, basically everyone involved has been banking on users getting confused about what the "legit" version of WordPress is, with known transphobic asshole photomatt being particularly egregious with WordPress.com vs wordpress.org, and then known transphobic asshole photomatt remembered that he also had some more direct influence in WordPress.org that he could use to smite his enemies. Is that about right or am I missing some steps?
