How does that alter the validity of the questions?

Who founded the company? Where'd they get the start-up money? The securing of advertising contracts comes after, wouldn't it? If they were lined up from the get-go, what are those relationships? What's being advertised? I think these are interesting questions I would want to ask.

Tone and style have impact on how someone is understood in any given conversation. If someone is rude in their manner, no matter how pointed their questions are, they don't honestly deserve a response. And if they continue to behave rudely, they can get punched in the mouth. That's why we have manners, a polite society is a civil society.
