I'd suggest that the policies are pretty childish, and anyone who has worked with the App Store before knows full well how completely arbitrary and insane it is--this should come as no surprise.

The Author of the article said it beautifully - I know that millions of people are battling every day for their dignity and their families and their lives. But, goddammit, this is a bridge too stupid, and I can’t cross it.

And I am sure the customer care person at Apple found this so hilarious.

This is nothing more than a refined version of the idiots on YouTube squirting water guns at McDonalds cashiers. Because you know they deserve it for daring to work at McDonalds at the first place.

Except McDonalds cashiers don't get six figure salaries to decide the entire fate of your livelihood every time you order a burger.
App reviewers don't earn six figure salaries.

From accounts it is a low-level, call centre type role. Actually not far off a McDonalds cashier.

This comment seems to imply that you have a salary threshold where you deem it acceptable to make people's lives a misery just for doing their job... So what is it? $50,000? $75,000?
