I always appreciate your stance (as you have tried to maintain for many years) on the importance of trying to be neutral.

It is kind of funny that your latest argument / blog was your best and just a week ago…

So thank you. Anyone capable of reading between the lines here doesn’t fault you or believe the “new threats story”.

But that’s okay. Media pressure, bad PR, ESG scores, losing customers, and the bigger HR problem of employees/ engineers becoming deranged and unfocused is not worth the trade off. It casts a pretty shadow over the real and good company stuff.

Thanks for being reasonable and understanding this is just not the way things should be.

Hopefully you can quietly lobby for clearer legal guidance or a better measured shift in the public conversation.

Until then… here’s to the next one! See you back here in 6-12 months all over again, haha.
