First, I give you a free product that people pay thousands of dollars for. I do so voluntarily. Second, I am supposed to also kiss your ass? What kind of attitude should I have when you come into my organization, take a free product, tell me that everyone working on the project sucks, tell me that they need to work harder and get you the free product faster, tell me that you need to have a say in how the organization works?
