Will, first and foremost, these were devs not CMs. Shouldn't have been posting in the first place for exactly this reason.

But in my experience in the industry, it's never worth the risk to try to look cool. You lose more often than you win, even when you think it's the right time. Because even if people agree with the sentiment, there will always be people who object to the tone itself and that tips the scales against you
