You can criticize bad actions even when they're done by generally "good" people, believe it or not.

I specifically took issue with him being called a slimeball. He's not a slimeball. Musk? Slimeball. DeVoss? Slimeball. Sweeney? Not a slimeball.

You can call someone a slimeball about something specific if they are a slimeball specifically about that thing, and Sweeny has proven repeatedly to be slimy in regards to Linux support.

I'm sure he's a great guy in other ways, but when the topic is specifically about scumbag corpo practices, calling him a slimebag isn't inaccurate.
