The parent criticized the commonly used FAANG acronym for excluding Microsoft. That is not juvenile in my book.

There's apparently "FANGAM" to account for that omission. According to Wikipedia:

Am I missing something? FAANG obviously omits a bunch of relevant large tech companies and it's rather disingenuous to be confused at its omission when the acronym obviously doesn't have an M in it. Feigning stupidity to make a point against a straw man is both juvenile behavior and evidently derailed the thread from civil or productive conversation. That's a successful troll, my friend, not any kind of behavior that aligns with the community guidelines.
