I have absolutely no objection to the opinion and said about three times that I was glad to have read it. The exact same opinion can be worded in different ways. It's not about being diplomatic, it's about being informative versus inflammatory.
If you try to read it literally what does "one of the most unique scumbags I've ever come across" mean exactly? It's not possible to translate this into an informative statement - it contains too little information, and "one of the most unique" is not even an oxymoron, it just has no informative content. (Some people consider "most unique" to be a grammatical error.)
So if it's a reflection of the author's emotions, it should be stated in those terms. But if the author takes a moment, he (or she) can make it far more informative. This isn't reddit.
- anigbrowl 11y agoI found it meaningful insofar as the the poster was locating the subject far out on the tail of a normal distribution, and I've had enough contact with the hedge fund world to have a sense of the distribution in question (and how people express themselves in that social context). I do see your point but I guess we have different communication styles as I found the use of language more informative than inflammatory. De gustibus, non est disputandem.
