Whoa E! I wish you would have found some way to vent the back to an intern! Venting is justified, I have been doing some here myself. But the intern is a worker Bee and has no real management function. His realities are set by the management.
Your point may be well taken but better directed at Management. Pretty sure he is who he says he is and, in fact, I am pretty amazed he would be able to identify himself as such.
He has, in effect, stuck his neck out. Expressing points that are in fact interpreted as 'straight from the management'. Ill advised as I am sure he knows by now - the anger of disappointed investors is his to bear as well.
