The countermeasure for Matt bombing is what's called “managing up.” As the lead for Team Social, my job for the team was to have as few public ruffles with Matt as possible. It was my job to anticipate potential land mines with Matt, or anyone else, and resolve them proactively instead of trying to put out fires on our P2. It also meant that when Matt joined a thread and confused people, it was my job to sort it out by directly asking Matt to clarify or working as a team to respond.
