The irony is that if this blogpost was shown to the company in particular, it's quite possible the author would face a disciplinary inquiry.

I think I know where this guy is coming from - these insults he throws are typical of insults in Singapore, and considered uncouth but not sexist or ableist. These concepts don't exist in the same ways in various countries, especially in Asia. All the same, I hope he'll stop his public inveighing against Ziege and Calvo, becaus he comes across as overly harsh and unrelenting.

Ultimately I submitted this blogpost to highlight the action of the company, not the blogger. He did the right thing in telling the people off and raising it to management, but his insults show that he wasn't altogether perfect either. These matters are complex.

But the story wasn't really about the actions of the company. They only took a small part in the story. Your title for it was completely mis-leading and not representative of the majority of the post's content.
