This seems to be a growing corporate strategy

1. Take an action that will annoy a large group of people

2. Since it is a large group of people, there will be some that take criticism too far

3. Hold up those examples as being representative of all your critics

4. No longer debate your unpopular action, claim it's for harassment reasons.

If not, that can be remedied.
