But is it compulsory to be so Manichaean? Have you really never seen someone (or group of people, or company) behave well in one context, and badly in another?



I understand perfectly well that they are both depending on context.

All I'm saying is that the harm they inflict on billions of people outside the company outweighs the good they do for thousands inside. Just because there's both good and bad doesn't mean the degree of each cannot be weighed at all.


Your redoubled insistence on a clearly irrelevant totalising good/bad judgement as a purported response to a quite specific comment about labour practices is more than a tad onanistic.


ouch okay lol good burn. I like your love of the English language you taught me some interesting words.


Not sure I really intended it as a burn, though you're right I do love words, sometimes to a fault! That was a generous response on your part anyway. Not one of my better days. Thanks.
