I’m plenty calm. There’s just nothing to debate here: the blog post and repo are a conscious, deliberate, and egregious misrepresentation of fact.
I would absolutely say exactly the same things to the author’s face as I’m saying right now. I would never work for a company that condones this in a million years, as a matter of principle.
And you don't seem to understand how the conversation went. I was obviously talking about my first comment, to which they answered.
> Which comments do you see doing that? Exactly?
Interestingly, those that made me write my first message were removed. Not that it was because of my message obviously, which mostly got me downvotes :-).
But the next best one would be:
"public shaming is the next best thing. I sincerely hope links to this incident will haunt him every time someone googles his name forevermore"
(after implying that ideally they should lose their job for this)
