I find it interesting that I simply said that there was "corruption", and the comment I responded to simply said the organization was a "shitshow", and you interpreted that to mean that one or both of us were saying that the board was acting out of greed.
The great thing about the comment I replied to is that it's correct really regardless of the situation. My comment was building on that, suggesting that the power of their product led to this, without directly saying who is responsible.
I think you can tell a lot about a person based on how they respond to ambiguity. Do they assume the person is agreeing with them, or do they assume that the person is disagreeing with them?
Edit: You can also tell a lot about a person based on whether they respond to criticism or simply try to silence it with a downvote, for example.
You got that precisely correct, but I'm afraid it was too much for many of the simple minds that climb around in the trees here :-)
