Attempt to silence or force into submission rather than a plain answer or better yet, doing something about it

@chrishajer That’s not an answer, I’m sorry, I don’t want to create an account, and that’s not a free-to-contact method, it requires people to have a license. If your plugin was listed on the official wordpress plugins repository I would have asked there.

As such, given that this is your forum, yes you’re entitled to attempts to silence people or shrug them off. But be warned, this will bite you in the butt in the future.

UPDATE: in case my username’s only post is not obvious: Version checks are an unnecessary user privacy abuse - #3
