You're advocating revenge. I'd just like discussions to be discussions. Not attacks.

The blog post read (to me at least) like an attack on a company with some obvious growing pains.

There are ways to write a complaint that doesn't involve pointing out Cohen's self congratulation. The way the post is ended wreaks of jealous hatred. That is not the way you constructively criticize.

Are we reading the same thing? I really don't think this post was an attack. It was someone describing a disappointing experience with a service that was supposed to make his side-projects easier to manage and having the exact opposite happen. It's a post about disappointment with a service written on his personal blog, I don't see any pitchfork calling or attacks or jealous hatred. Are you projecting something here?
Considering how well Jacques presented his arguments and experience, I'd say that this is one of the better examples of public flogging.

It seems like he's spent an extended amount of time complaining to internal channels, and he just needed to let other people know about his experience of not receiving the promised levels of service.

I feel that I managed to control myself fairly well, all told. Nobody's parentage was questioned, nobody called "unsound", nobody excluded from the gentlemen's club etc etc.

Wait, what? Where? I saw nothing in that entire diatribe that sounded like a call to arms.
