You means me.  I worked there from 1988-1996.  I got mad some years ago when
some bozo moderator called the company "microshit".

I think I'm calmer about this now, because I realize that use of terms like that
are just a bad choice by the writer.  If everyone agrees fully with you, fine,
but you distract and possibly alienate those who are elsewhere within the
spectrum.
