He labeled it as a joke. Perhaps you missed that part where he said "kidding aside." In any case, thanks for sharing your perspective and thoughts! You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I hope that airing your frustration has made you feel better. If you feel your time was put to good use, then that's okay in the end and I have no objection to it. I still firmly believe it's counter productive, that we all could have found something better to do than have an exchange of words that do nothing, but if it was felt as a positive step in your daily activities, I am not going to stop you.
