Indeed. There's also the question of whether it's worth the effort. Most of what I've read here about companies I've worked for has been, shall we say, imaginative. Occasionally it's been downright conspiracy theory. When I've been tempted to try to set the record straight, after thinking it through I find--forgive me if this comes across as cynical--that the amount of work it would take far outweighs how much I care what strangers think about the things I work on. It's much easier, and probably healthier, just to close the tab and carry on with more important things. (In spite of this I confess that I devoured the Stripe thread alongside a heaping bowl of popcorn. Some combination of Gell-Mann amnesia and a vulgar taste for tabloid gossip, I guess.)
