The flamage serves no purpose, I'll agree with Ben on this point.  It is a bit strange to see aD being so sensitive.

I suspect everyone there's a bit on edge.  Layoffs are painful events.  In young companies like aD, the first time the company lays folk off is often the first time that the fact that the company might fail strikes home.  Obviously, when people join a young startup they understand intellectually that the company might fail, but most folks aren't any better prepared emotionally for signs of corporate mortality than they are for signs of their own mortality.

Gee, can you tell that I once ran a company that's been bankrupt for a  decade and that I've personally had to lay people off? :)
