Not for me, but it would be a blow to my reputation and might cost a relationship with the vendor (depending on the dollar value to the vendor). And I'd be very embarrassed.

- nobody9999 1y ago>Having a border is not fascism. Goodness me. Yeah! Washington, DC is right on the border! I mean WTF is wrong with people! It's so important to make sure that the border between it, Maryland and Virginia is secure! Those Virginians are comin' to steal our jerbs, eat our sandwiches (or throw them at our fearless masters!). I mean it's not like Marylanders are really human, are they?

- comrade1234 1y agoWho's the vendor? AWS? Azure or whatever it's called now? Google cloud? You have to be more specific.
- mmooss 1y agoI mean a vendor's representative that you have a personal relationship with.

- stephen_g 1y agoWhy do you ask though? That just seems a strange and irrelevant comment in the context of the post... Or was it meant to be a reply to someone else's comment and would make more sense in that context?
- mmooss 1y agoWhy do you ask why do I ask? :) Seriously, what are you thinking? I'm trying to shift thinking outside the emotionally charged perspective of the event.

I'm not the person that you're replying to but I'll give it a shot. > I'm trying to shift thinking outside the emotionally charged perspective of the event. The re-framing suggests there is no qualitative difference between an employee throwing a sandwich at a representative of a service provider hired by their employer and a protester throwing a sandwich at law enforcement. The differences seem obvious but I have to assume you believe there is none: if they are different, the question is not relevant. So why ask the question? Perhaps a more direct question could be why do you think the two scenarios are so comparable?
