pardon?
can you help me understand how my reply was off-topic given the question:
> As an analogy, take every major political scandal you can think of - Monica Lewinsky, Watergate, Iran Contra, Chappaquiddick, etc - and imagine a single elected official perpetrating them all within the course of a year. How do you think they would be treated?
- dang 9y agoIt's a matter of degree. At least the parent comment was loosely tied to the original topic, where yours went off the moorings altogether. It's often a judgment call where to clip these threads, sort of like the temperature at which to save a boiling frog.
