The bigger problem I think is that they acted as if

> "Folks I'm not exactly a police supporter but this is a terrible way to intro Tony. You've basically written this guy specialises in surveillance and now he works with our computers, yay!"

was not an acceptable response to that. Some people don't like surveillance, not that surprising, but if you end up with "oops, wrong audience for this" post you don't have to blow it up as they did.

So I found the original thread (https://raspberrypi.social/@Raspberry_Pi/109477121398103132), and I must say these irreverent responses from the Raspberry Pi account are raising a smile from me, it's refreshing to see someone not taking those po-faced complainer types seriously.

It's refreshing that people respectfully voice their concerns and the company treats them like shit in response, going so far as to reply condescendingly and block them? That's not refreshing, that's just shitty behaviour and unacceptable in the context of any community.

Definitely, it just makes me respect the Raspberry Pi team even more than I did already. Sticking up for their new colleague, and shutting down all those pompous whiners with ego-puncturing flippancy. I love to see it.
