It’s a passive aggressive and unprofessional - you don’t want your employees talking to each other this way, so don’t start it either.
Is it though? He only has one side of the story so the (?) is asking for the other side of the story (which they might not be aware of). How do you do it as a CEO?

#23I think it's telling that his first hypothesis for why Barnes & Noble was getting more positive reviews was that they were paying for them. Honestly, my first thought was "maybe they're just asking more customers". I wonder if he thought that the competitor was doing something shady because he'd been put on the spot and so his first response was instinctively the most defensive one.

The same way as non-CEOs? Write a 4 words sentence asking for more details?

#28To be honest, I think the world has bigger problems than "why is our kindle app not getting the most app-store reviews and stars".
Yes, you're right.
But are you suggesting we should not discuss anything but the biggest problems?

Are you kidding this is the HN dream, being a billionaire while being able to force people to bend over backwards for you while you deliver derisive snark.

It's a tech company. Maybe they could manage a short URL that explains the long list of rules associated with a "Jeff ?" email. And paste that URL instead of a '?'.
