While I think the overall message is great, I personally think the author did themselves a disservice by dissolving into seemingly rambling threats at the end.

It's like having a valid argument, but devolving to name calling when you should have just walked away.

    I don't see what you are talking about. The author is just backing up the point with case studies.

    "Sure, Zaslav deserves to be staked out over and anthill and slathered in high-fructose corn syrup. But save the next anthill for the Sony exec who shipped a product that would let Zaslav come into your home and rob you. That piece of shit knew what they were doing and they did it anyway. Fuck them. Sideways. With a brick. "
