You seem to have us confused with someone else. We haven't claimed that WordPress forum moderators are out to get us or and we don't have a victim complex. Perhaps you have an issue with projection. The moderators do act inappropriately, which plenty of people in the WordPress community have dealt with. It is why so few people participate in them.
As for what the moderator are doing inappropriately, we explained some of that here. That was linked to in the post you are replying about. It would help to read what you responding before claiming it doesn't provide something. And here is specific example, which had nothing to do with us, where they deleted messages simply saying thank you.
Again with the projection. You are the only one ranting here. We don't have any "scammy-ass" plugins.
The post you are replying about mentioned Wordfence in the context of us explaining how we came across a serious vulnerability. Which involved us reviewing a false claim by Wordfence about a vulnerability in a plugin one of our customers started using. So it wasn't altruistic, our customers pay us to do that work. We mentioned WordPress in the context of boilerplate text explaining why we full disclosed the vulnerability. None of that is a rant.
You can't even keep your claims straight. First you claimed we hadn't explained what the moderators we doing that is inappropriate and then you claimed we had, but you don't agree with it. To quote you, "No one is going to trust you or listen to you if you can’t be honest about what’s happening."
