Feedback on Domain Sale

This post drove this feedback:

Mr. Covel: Can’t pass this up. Indeed, I understand the concept and use of analogy. Use it myself now and then. I thought the story on Depend(s) simply was not constructive. My initial reaction was that, not unlike a good many other situations, the person who received the largess from P&G or whoever, may have, to put it very gently, been exploiting a situation. To people I know, I would be more blunt, and say rip off. But I am neither suggesting that or even saying that.

The flip side of your position might place blame on the decision-making of an entity that should have known better. Exploiting a situation is the nature of capitalism. Same thing in the markets. You seem to be placing a moral view on my action. Your argument would be akin to blaming the winning side for the losing side’s losses in a zero sum game.
