I believe that we're also free to publicly shame them for having and enforcing idiotic policies.

The only reason that your statement makes sense is if you disagree with me on that. Otherwise, your comment just amounts to "they don't have to listen to you," which should be implicit to everyone here.

If you do feel that we aren't allowed to publicly shame them, then I'd invite you to expand on that idea.

What a useless comment. Beside having nothing to do with the comment it is in response to, it completely misses the point that while what they did is of course legal, we can still find it inappropriate and complain about it.

The unnecessary, inflammatory coarseness of your language hasn't helped you present this alternative point of view.
