Building a website on internal Microsoft infra that ledes with a picture of "Azure Kills Kids" is beyond the pale.

I'm not sure you know what "beyond the pale" means. You probably shouldn't look into the history of the suffragette or civil rights movements, for your own sanity.

Killing kids is not beyond the pale, building a website criticizing is.

Saying what has happened is worse than it happening? American missiles kill kids, and so does intelligence and support systems they use to do so.

That’s a pretty low bar for “beyond the pale.” Company PR isn’t some sacred thing and these people paid a hefty price for their protest. They should be praised for their bravery even if you disagree with their message.

I make no comment on their message but you cannot use company resources to do it and not expect consequences.

Sorry if that is unclear.

This is a fireable offense in nearly every company handbook in existence.

		When did I say they shouldn’t expect consequences or that it wasn’t a fireable offense? The whole point of this discussion is that cries for people to “protest properly” are ridiculous and designed to make protests ineffective. Clearly I get that their jobs and more were at risk, hence why I said they were brave. The only thing unclear is where you got the impression I thought otherwise.
