On the contrary, I would say that one has a moral obligation to alienate
tobacco companies.

And I'm down with this moral sentiment 10,000%.

I frankly couldn't believe what I was reading whilst perusing the digest,
and from whom. This smug bloke thinks he can land his 14-ton todger onto
the list, demand answers by a fixed deadline, and all in the service of
doing his bit to help replace the 7 million tobacco users who die every
year - according to the World Health Organisation - with preferably new,
young customers for the likes of PMI to sell their cancer sticks.

Disgusting. *Absolutely* disgusting! What on Bod's Earth are we doing
helping these people? They should be nowhere near this list. Do you hear
that, Philip Morris Angel of Death? I sincerely hope you crash and burn.

I was going to respond to this, but then I thought that it would be 
better to heed the ancient wisdom: "Do not feed the trolls."
