I do as I am told and keep secret's well and in the long run it has paid off to just know my place settle in and mind my own shit.

Ya might want to consider this, being you got a great job over at Shanes World, why endanger that? How long ya think ya got till someone comes along and just punches the fucking leg's out from under the chair that has more to offer?

How long till your reign is no longer impressing people while being damaged enough to outright drop. Don't become damaged goods dude. All you are doing is like i said above...

Alienating people and opportunities you might have in the future.
I'm not sure if playing devil's advocate is your new board persona, but this is surprising coming from somoene like you who has always spoken out.

First, I fail to see how he's doing anything to jeopardize his future. He works for a company that produces high quality exclusive content. Companies that steal that content steal from his company. Companies that play games with Zango and shit steal from his company. Companies that piss off surfers so much that they don't bother touching an adult site again are hurting his company. I can't fathom one thing that he has spoken out about being of a differing opinion of the company he works for.

And if his reign ends because of speaking out, so be it. There are people in this world who would rather work for people they respect than for those who they don't. Would you work for a white supremecy group if it paid well? What about for the NRA if you were heavily against guns? There are some people who would rather not work in this business than for a company that fucks people over.

Finally, sitting back and "knowing your role" is what got this industry into the position it's in. It's what got them the enormous processing fees. It's what got them scrutiny from the federal government. It's what is getting them ratios that make baby Jesus cry. So sitting back hasn't exactly worked over the years, maybe it's time for people who plan to be around awhile to start speaking up.
