Yes, agree.
There are some assholes out there, who are all big and bad, and think it’s fun to rattle everyone else’s cages. Tough guys, who are only tough because they think no one will be able to do anything about it. This Roig-Franzia clown sounds like one of those. We had one of those in my office. For a LONG time, he was Mister Bad, ready to stomp the shit out of everyone, getting in everyone’s face, until his bluff was called. He turned out to be a damn coward and he left very soon after that (and good riddance).
The “old guy” was about to retire. Maybe he was sick and tired of putting up with bullshit and decided to make a “parting shot” of sorts?
I don’t condone it, but I sure can sympathize. This was a guy who apparently had a long and (up to now) peaceful career. I suspect (just a hunch) that the “recipient” had this coming, and for a long time.
Oh, German---- the “iPhone App Store” of languages.

Jesus, if “Ruh-roh!” made it into the published article, I shudder to imagine the rough draft.
Surely you mean the “ruff raft,” Erdosian. For the record, the father’s response in the Cell Phone entry is pretty funny - but I’m not sure why anybody was wasting time on this item in the first place.
