You realize that OMGPOP is founded and staffed by real human beings, who are probably reading these threads today, right?

I can respect the opinion that selling to Zynga was the wrong call - but your tone and wording is entirely inappropriate.

If the founder and employees of the company were sitting across the table from you, would you still call them cowards?

Fair enough. I could have made the same point with better wording. I removed that sentence.

fwiw I was talking about the investors/CEO etc, the people who made the decision on the sale. Not the employees.
