I never said iContact was a small company by any means. However, there are a many factors that can lead to a company growing >300 and getting acquired for that price. It might sound condescending so I understand the downvotes...but some of the things laid out in the post just sounded wrong to me.

FWIW, I did not downvote you.

That said, if there are things in the article you disagree with, why not spell them out and offer your alternative take, instead of just saying "it's offensive for one person to ..."

Disagreeing with an article and having a well reasoned position on why you disagree should be fine. But generic negative comments without much "meat" to them don't seem as valuable.

Unless you're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, it's almost offensive for you claim that things sound wrong if you lack the experience to back up your claims.
