those quotes you mention, while generally hinting towards Amazon's broken system, directly address the reporting individual -- unless i'm to believe that someone internal to Amazon reported it.
YOU made life difficult on Christmas Eve.
Don't blame YOURSELF
...wasn't YOUR intent.
So, unless I fall into the fantasy that the author is addressing an internal Amazon employee, it sounds as if those statements are being made towards the 'you' who reported the author.
It's all being snarky towards Amazon's broken system, no doubt, but the author doesn't seem to mind sharing the blame with the perpetrator of the report itself..
- bmn__ 7y agoThat's a shifted goalpost argument. GGP talks about "blame", you downgrade this to "addressing". Certainly, the word "you" is used to address, but you would be mistaken in thinking that the word "you" alone implies blame. The rest of the quoted sentences clearly express the author deflecting the blame away from the person who made the reports on the book.
