    The arrogance and lack of understanding of the competition that those few sentences encapsulate are breathtaking

    What the hell kind of competition do you think happens in the real world? Business isn't a kids soccer game where no one keeps score and everyone gets a trophy at the end of the summer, you know.

    What's breathtaking to me is that you think it's somehow out of line.
