There is no objectivity possible when discussing emotional triggers.
One person's "deeply offensive" is the next person's shrug.

Me, I am under no delusion of having any specific importance to either government or big business--plus, having held security clearance I know the government already knows everything of relevance about me--so I'm more concerned about private criminals than public scoundrels. And more about price-fixers than over-eager sales staff, online or off.

To each their own.
