You are hardly the worst offender in this category. Not every post is a dig at you.

Fair enough. I misunderstood your intentions, or not...

From my feedback...
"NOW my post is intentionally disrespectful. Before it was at least thinly veiled."
Nice...

Look this is not cool. Not at all. Just gonna leave it at that and go on with my life.

Since we are going for the pile on: the entire point was that smartphones provide important and immediate access to state of your affairs. It's everywhere and as a professional I have an obligation to pay attention to it when it is safe to do so. I get that some of you can't follow that point anymore with this targeted effort directed at me so I stated it again.

It's a very relevant and valid point. If it brushes you the wrong way the importance of my work - it is more your issue than mine to restrain yourself from distracting this topic yourselves.

Furthering that point, getting notifications from other sources of Internet data which are less relevant (like this site) are frankly are not good reasons to distract from a team meeting or competition goal.
