Argumentative? I agreed that he was a jackass with a pithy comment about spelling.

Inflammatory? What else do you call a clown that would spit on his own mother for a nickel?

Point taken, but FFS. The man was a grand mal asshole and that should be mentioned every time his name appears.

You aren’t contributing to the conversation by going on a tirade.

I disagree, learning how bad certain business people are is useful for society. Jack Welch ruined the lives of many families and played an explicit role in giving people cancer by dumping waste into public spaces.

Talking about this is doing a serious service.

Why?

This is free, and the simple fact of Jack being a grand mal jackass is relevant.

And the OP wasn't contributing to the truth about Jack Welch by simply skipping past what a jackass he was. He was technically an engineer, and spent 30+ years ignoring engineering, integrity and common sense, for the sake of profits. That's faux engineer, at best.

Every single time assholes are mentioned, their assholery should be mentioned too. Let's not rewrite history for those unaware of how these "people" acted.

By your logic, the only thing that should be mentioned about Pol Pot is that he was a leader of Cambodia at one point.

Did Pol Pot also work for Boeing at some point? I did not know that. </sarc>

If he did, he would apparently just be another kind soul, like ole Jack.

Unless he can bring it back to Star Trek ablative armor!

Let's not bring Wookie engineering into this. ;)
