> were arguing against fucking John Carmack

I am sure Carmack himself encourages debates and discussions. Lionizing one person can't be expected of every employee (unless that person is also the founder or the company is tiny).

I don't think you should treat the founder more special than eg John Carmack.

But I agree that civil discussion is good.

I think the implication is that they were arguing poorly and wasting time
