Gosh, we messed up on the wording of that badge and are changing it pronto. The wording on that badge was actually intended to explicitly state that the space was NOT OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED by the company, but that doesn’t come off at all.
According to this DoucheWeasel, GS tried to say that their page about 37signals is not sanctioned/approved by 37signals, but failed.
Instead they ended up implying that 37signals doesn't care about their customers. Whoops.
Have you ever tried to type "This space is not officially sanctioned by 37signals" but made a few typos and ended up typing "37signals is not committed to open an conversation" instead?
Gosh, that mistake could happen to anyone!
- Semiapies 18y agoThe GS guys are doing an amazing combination of groveling and passive-aggressive whining about being caught at the same time.
- shiranaihito 18y agoYou nailed it. That was just about what I wanted to say, but couldn't. In any case, last time I checked, they had most of HN fooled with their douchery too, which is quite surprising. Seriously.. If their "wording" was explicitly meant to state that the "space" was not officially sanctioned by 37signals, well then, why not just freaking go ahead and explicitly state exactly that? It's obvious that GS is a shady company, and after Jason's blog post, what exactly do people think they'd do? "Why yes, we are full of shit. You got us."?
