Guess the cavalry didn't show up this time.

So are names of the company okay? I feel that's just as witch hunty.


I don't know. It doesn't feel as bad to me, but I suppose you could make a case that it is.

The witch hunt dynamic is really a problem and when it gets going—which unfortunately it did in this case—intervention is required.


It takes an extra click to figure out who the execs are if only the company name is released. The drop off is probably an order of magnitude. Guess that makes sense.
