"lined up against the wall", really? I think you would be more convincing if you toned it down a bit on the metaphors.

"lined up against the wall", really? I think you would be more convincing if you toned it down a bit on the metaphors.
- throwawayjava 9y agoIt was parent's metaphor, not mine. The substance holds.
- conistonwater 9y agoI don't see it in that comment. Where? I only see "Cuddy lost her reputation rather than her head.", which is not at all similar. (I don't see it in NYT either.)
- throwawayjava 9y agoIs there really a substantive difference between losing your head to a guillotine and being lined up and shot? (The NYT begins the metaphor with "revolution", parent extends it with "violent revolution", and I switched out one form of violence with another).
- hirundo 9y agoIt was the New York Time's metaphor, not mine. But your substance does hold. Cuddy may have lessened her punishment, though, had she denounced the bourgeoisie with more fervor.
