Google is struggling to discuss the recent diversity memo controversy internally:
Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, canceled a scheduled all-hands staff meeting—moments before it was scheduled to begin—meant to address concerns over a controversial essay published by former employee James Damore.
In an email to staff, Pichai explained that questions from employees had been leaked and that, in some cases, specific employees' identities were revealed, exposing them to harassment and threats. Instead of today's large-scale meeting, which was to be livestreamed to Google's 60,000 employees worldwide, smaller groups will meet sometime in the future.
"We had hoped to have a frank open discussion today as we always do to bring us together and move forward. But our Dory questions appeared externally this afternoon, and on some websites Googlers are now being named personally," Pichai said in the email.

Personally, I doubt this one will hit 100 comments, being the second follow-up. I could be wrong though.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

I guess it went further than you expected?
(yes, only replying to push the post count closer to 100. Considering self-replying to this reply just to push it further ;-)

Naah, that'd be very small of me. Moreover, it would only push the count up to 99, which still doesn't invalidate TMB's assumption.
So let's not pollute SN with such comments.
