You misunderstand.

I don't care whether or not there is an outage. I care that people are professional in their work. Passing the buck is unprofessional. Accepting the responsibility is what matters, and if they decide not to fix it, then say so and own that choice.

Service providers are responsible for their service only. Not the products you layer on top of them.

Doing free favors doesn't mean you should drop your level of professionalism.

It's a service among friends. I actually expect them to act a bit more casual. Given than, I think what they said was just fine: Comcast turned off their service, they're looking into alternatives.

> I care that people are professional in their work.

I feel the same way. But this isn't work, this is play.

So it's ok for me to misrepresent a situation and make other people look bad as long as I'm "just playing"?
