I'm not one of the people flinging insults at this guy. I just understand why others are doing it. They see that it was a monetization guy from Ubisoft and they flip out. Is it a rational and objective reaction? No, but people are neither rational nor objective most of the time.
Okay, but the reaction to that can't be "boys will be boys". "People aren't rational or objective" isn't what you say to excuse a collective behavior, it's what you say to explain why it's wrong.
What's even worse is if that's used that as a justification for people being hostile on issues that you agree with or support but not on issues where you don't. Which I suppose in itself is part of the "not being rational and objective" thing.
Yes, I'm just explaining it, not justifying it. What I means is "don't get worked up or upset about it because this is just human nature and while you may be able to change this particular manifestation of it, you will never fix the underlying problem", not "don't try to change people's minds when they're wrong". You're right to be teaching people some discernment. Just don't suffer when they refuse to listen.
