"you might find the comment poor in taste" != "they knew it was poor in taste"

  "I'm sorry if you're offended..." :)

    Well, getting offended by something that isn't a direct, personal attack is a sign of emotional immaturity.

  Right, it's more of a grey area. It's clearly a bad day for all involved, but there are enough sub-threads here about "What can I move to" that I felt a top-level comment about how GCS has worked hard to continue S3 interop support was warranted (it's clearly not widely known).

  I would argue the very notion that he thought the disclaimer might be necessary meant he full well knew he was posting in poor taste. And as he states, he knows they have outages too. So it's like if there were two towns in tornado alley, and one town got hit by a tornado, and the other was like "well, it might be in poor taste, but there isn't currently a tornado in our town". If Google had some higher ground to stand on when they made their marketing posts, maybe they'd have merit. But when they're just pushing product that's no better than the product they're commenting about, it's just spam. If he said "we have 30% less outages than AWS" or something, at least there'd be merit to posting it.
