This is a take on a rather classic business ethics question. In the case of Carsonified, I don't think it was necessary to post that much detail about the decision to lay people off, or even to post that he was doing so at all. On the other hand, of course, when failing to inform potential customers of things you know might lead to a worse experience, or may result in the customer losing money, it's usually better to be honest about it up front.
