My statement very directly refutes the assertion that they are "bringing politics into the office", when in fact politics are already there.
Summarizing arguments is necessary when people obfuscate the true argument they are making. Dog whistles are a great example of this. If you can't all an argument out for what it is, you can't refute it at all.
- dang 8y agoWhen you 'call out' an argument that no one was actually making, you're lowering discussion quality by quite a bit. Making it personal ("you are saying $stupid-offensive-thing") doubles the damage. That's why we have that guideline, so please follow it.
