Sure, but most people would consider the original poster's request as quite reasonable.

Instead of considering it in a balanced way and producing a polite & considered response, the response was idealistic rhetoric. For better or worse, I think that does qualify the attitude of response as "unprofessional", as stingraycharles pointed out.




Google is the unprofessional one. Threaten to not support Jessie, hey? What an arrogant self-referred world Google lives in?


I think Google is more or less "in the wrong" too, but a less snippy, snarky response would probably do more to convince people of that. "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar", as they say.


Probably yes.

As a non-native english speaker it is quite difficult to find an enough but not too much snippy/snarky response (had e.g. to lookup these words)).


What are you implying, that when English is not your native tongue, it is easier to be snarky?

English is a second language to me, and I cannot imagine this being true.
