Re:Turning down Zynga: Why I opted out of the $210M Omgpop buy by wpietri on Tuesday March 27, 2012 @10:56AM (#3761804)
People absolve the companies all the time. "They're just employees, they don't make the policies." "Oh, yeah, Zynga's awful, but he's a good guy." Etc, etc.

I think that's factually true, but the moral implication is false. Nobody says, "Oh, it's not his fault the mob assigned him to break kneecaps. He doesn't set the policies, you know."

Right, what I meant was that this particular group of people here on HN doesn't seem prone to that, not that people in general don't do it.
