> Companies are run by people. This is why lawyers have jobs. In a situation like this, the reasonable thing to do is ambiguous, and opinions are strongly split in half. If there's an objective standard, everybody can just point to that. It's not the most communitarian thing, but it's a way to bypass conflict and move on. Now the particular reason half of the people are up in arms here is that it's stifling to know that you could lose your whole livelihood over a choice of words on (arguably?) your own time. On the other hand it's a choice of words that the other half the people deem beyond the pale in any context. It's a bit of a mess, and I'm not sure whether this will resolve itself on a useful standard that a lawyer can point to, much less what that standard might be.
