But I don't see a problem with denouncing bad things that companies have done in the past. If a company caused lots of problems, then it should deserve the condemnation for the bad things that it caused.

It deserves the condemnation because it caused bad things to happen.

I disagree that merits outweighed the demerits in the case we are discussing here, but I respect your viewpoint.
