I was using the same wording that the other commenter used, because that's what he was. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
It's a joke PR, sure, but he was being disrespectful. He was insulting everyone who has worked on the product because he feels it's crap. He's entitled to his opinion, sure, but at the same time, he didn't have to state it the way he did. Just because it was a joke PR does not suddenly excuse him from his actions. It's not like it suddenly makes things okay.
He straight up made fun of the product, in a disrespectful way, and was called out for it by the community. You are free to disagree, sure, but there's a reason people reacted the way they did.
And furthermore, my location and the company I work for are completely irrelevant to this discussion. I'd appreciate you not bringing them in. I speak for myself, not my employer.
