    It’s the internet. People will be dicks to others for no other reason than that they can.

    And I really hope you aren’t referring to “me” when you say “you”. I’ve always voted with my wallet and for the most part, I try to be reasonable in my critique.

    But this industry works like any other. And when a bad decisions made, the groundfloor workers are always the first to feel it. That’s just the sad truth.

      OK, but that’s bad, right? We all agree that’s bad.

      More importantly, that’s what Darrah is trying to say. And nobody wants to see themselves as the bad guy, so everybody is dancing around it.

      And no, I didn’t mean you specifically, I don’t know who you are. I do include other people in this thread that have made their position explicit, though.

        It’s not good, no. More accountability at the top would be preferrable, I’d imagine.

        You also have to take into account that many customers haven’t felt treated very nicely over quite a long time now. There’s definitely some pent-up feelings getting released as a result of people finally achieving functional boycotts.

          I don’t, in fact, have to take that into account. I’m not making excuses for people who like being dicks on the Internet. Choosing a scapegoat to lash out at makes this worse, not better.

            I’m not making excuses. Just expressing how I understand it.

            I get how bloodthirsty people can get and how little rationale thought comes with it.
