The article reads back on standard corporate policies and practices - not a 'true' personal attack. A threat can be misconstrued if seen as an enforcement upon agreed upon policies (i.e. your local pizza company 'threatens' your family by stopping free pizza deliveries to your house if you default on tips.) Sometimes, it is better to have an independently funded project over a corporate sponsored one. Sometimes, the opposite is true.
