"Was this the right call? I think so. All our competitors also shunned any photos of Manhattan bank branches. The right to free speech does not give us right to shout fire in a crowded cinema; there was the risk of a fire, and we might have lit the spark by shouting about it."

Enraging. You're allowed to shout fire in a crowded theater if there is, you know, a fire. Tapping all the people in the box seats on the shoulder to give them a heads up about the fire so they can get to the exit before everyone stampedes for it is sociopathic, not social-minded.

I guess it's to his credit that he admitted to this, in the same sense that I'd credit a murderer confessing his crime and bringing the police to the body.
