I think you're going down a bad route when you start inserting gratuitous insults into your summaries of what other people said.

Transforming 'Micro$oft's' name as a form of commentary is a time-honored tradition.

I disagree with policing someone elses language like this in the first place, but it's only one insult and it's just "Microslop".

Ooops. Just copilot-made mistake of 30% comment that been AI generated. Kidding.

Actually I was a reference of Microsoft banning people on their Discord.

Because out of top "evil corps" Microsoft seem to have worst PR department.

I'm certain that the multi-trillion dollar company with a history of antisocial and anti-consumer behavior will survive some petty insults.

Though, if people who control purchasing (and/or regulatory) power tend to link increasing use of LLMs and layoffs because "AI means we don't need all those programmers and managers" to substantial and ongoing reductions in quality of the company's software and services, the discussions customers have with MSFT salesfolk may cause the company to "change course", as it were. Intermittent grassroots petty insults are one way to keep folks reminded of the stuff that CEOs and salesfolks would rather you forget.
