Reaction: Um, kids? You're working for a number-8-in-the-Fortune-500 company, with a "keep turning our monopoly-business crank to make yet more money" financial model. Where are you getting the idea that the management of such a business should be non-boring, let alone visionary?

Why did you have to prefix your comment with “reaction”? Isn’t that assumed? Or can people interpret it in another way?

[bell-cot]

It's a disclaimer of sorts - "this is my immediate reaction, probably somewhat emotional, which should not be taken too personally nor too seriously".

[AznHisoka]

If you don’t want anyone to take it personally or seriously, then maybe don’t post it

[bell-cot]

Such things are matters of degrees, and humans use all sorts of intonations, gestures, tags, emoticons, and such, to provide similar disclaimers. Being neither young nor on-line enough to feel myself fluent in the current local dialect of those, I fall back to something that feels workable, if rather clumsy.

Yes I suppose that there are always going to be people that respond with vitriol, yourself included.

[Alifatisk]

I think it’s fine, I was just curious.
