Thats fair, although my (weak) counter would be that hes good enough at this public stuff 95% of the time - just not when he’s dragged into issues like this, which, fortunately are few and far between.

Anyway, never thought I’d be defending an AC CEO … ever, but given the public abuse heaped on the guy - literally being told to resign over this - I think it’s gotten a little too personal and unfair.

Normal (re)programming will resume shortly.
