There's a difference between honest, direct criticism and violence.  The
article I read about him, in any other life, Davis would have been
institutionalized.  I think its a good thing too to tell someone when
they f'up, and like you say, without all the fluffy stuff corporations
do these days.  However, I don't go for throwing things or slamming
people.
