>I disagree. Your "lets be super nice to everybody" strategy has come to an absurd conclusion.

You and I must have read a different response, cause I saw nothing in there about "being super nice to everyone." What I saw was a reasonable request not to commit the Fundamental Attribution Error. Which is paraphrased as: when I screw up, there were extenuating circumstances. When you screw up it's cause you're a moron.

A company comprised of otherwise reasonable people can behaving shockingly dumb. The only way to make companies learn is to impact their bottom line, and that means not-nice words need to be said.


-4 but not a single response? Folks, I wasn't aware it was in question that companies can behave in irrational ways.
