see this is one of the things I was curious about. This makes sense. getting your way who cares why. I don't care why this company found a cure for cancer, just that they did, and down the line to lesser things, but I'm unsure of the effectiveness of public relations. If everyone thinks that then why not just say "we suspended Adrian Peterson because all of you got really pissed off" "we did see the tape, and we told you we fricked up, you guys seem pretty pissed so we'll go ahead and suspend ray rice for even longer"

good I hope so. the gun control thing may have been a bad example, but it is my self interests. frick if the amount were only a few million dollars I wouldn't care, it would have to be an extreme situation.

but see, I could understand swinging microsofts way in that situation because the gap between the two is almost insignificant if it were something as extreme like sony donating half a billion to political groups that are trying to frick ME (key word) over

I'm talking about something unrelated to the product taking over the entire decision process

see now I'm losing myself. I guess some examples and the motivations can make sense...just not the ones made against self interest.
