Speculating wildly is OK. Speculating wildly using definitive-sounding statements, particularly in a thread directed specifically towards employees of a company, is extremely misleading.
If you had started with “Not related to Verizon in any way, but IMO...” that would have been perfectly fine, but given where and how you made the statements it looks remarkably like you were claiming inside knowledge of the situation, and then feigning innocence when called out.
- blotter_paper 7y agoFWIW, I read aspaceman's orginal post as speculation rather than an implicit claim of insider knowledge. I do see how it could be taken the other way.
