Throwing stones

Bookmarked WordPress.com is not WordPress | WP Hercules.

It has to be said and repeated: WordPress.com is not WordPress. My own mother was confused and thought WordPress.com was an official thing. Their branding, marketing, advertising, and entire promise to customers is that they’re giving you WordPress, but they’re not. And they’re profiting off of the confusion.

I’ve no dog in this fight. But this is a brilliant response, highlighting how you may end up looking silly if you’re throwing stones while sitting in glass houses.
