<i>"The fact it ever went this far is really disturbing to us."</i><p>Well, bit late for all of that, right?<p><i>"We are software developers and we’d much rather spend our time building great software and helping people than being involved in a horrible mess like this."</i><p>Well, then why didn't they? Why didn't they help people instead of peevishly fanning the flames?<p>I hope that I never have the opportunity of working with these folks, because I'm not sure I would be able to keep such duplicitous company: at once both helping rabble-rouse a mob on an unrelated and non-professional capacity (in the strictest sense) and <i>then</i> for lacking the backbone to own up to the fruits of their labors.<p>I'd rather work with somebody who's got the guts to say "Well, we got the bastard out--now, let's file a lawsuit."<p>At least that shows true passion.
