I give him credit for actually talking publicly with people. Most CEO's hide behind the PR department, or speak only one-way, without replies.
Yes, but his reply reminded me of the saying 'it is better to keep quiet and be thought a fool, than speak and remove all doubt'.

> Shows how most CEOs of even large companies are human like everyone else Um, it doesn't really say anything about most CEOs, does it? Actually, I think it shows how this guy is different from others, because he seems more nutty than most people.
How did someone like this become CEO? Or is it just his response to breaking under the pressure for the first time?

You'd feel better if he lied to your face?
If this is any reflection on his mental state and processes Comodo is dead.

Tangential, but what in the hell is with the whole thing where company execs refuse to use "I" in a sentence? Read anything typed up by some founder or something, and you see sentence after sentence deliberately omitting self-reference. Here specifically: "If they have right to it then more than happy to comply"... If they have right to it then I am/we are more than happy to comply. Anytime someone posts email corres…
I remember reading an article a while back (couldn't find it through Google) that talked about how people with abusive tendencies (which this kind of tortured diatribe seems adjacent to) have an accompanying tendency to psychologically distance themselves from their actions by avoiding first-person constructions, eg. "and then it happened" instead of "and then I did it". That being said, it sounds like the cause of t…
See the weird omission of reference to self? Here's something I didn't originally intend to share... The reason I notice this is because I used to type emails like that. I don't know why I used to do that, but I eventually stopped doing it consciously because I thought it sounded weird, and years later noticed it in the situation I mentioned earlier. I find it annoying these days to read people doing it. I totally get what you're saying about ESL, but I'm referring to it happening outside of non-native English speakers. I'm interested in your initial suggestion, though. Thanks!

No, but I'd feel better if he didn't spout a whole pile of gobbledygook. Let's just say that if this were the CEO of the company I was working for when faced with an existential crisis such as 'lets encrypt' I'd be out in a hurry. This can't end well and in spite of the situation he's still the most visible part of Comodo and should have a very cool and wise head at times like these. If this is any reflection on his…

"trying to get your loyal but "blind" followers to bully another enterprise via their tweets. It won't work!" Looks like it works. :D
