The OP never said their example wasn't an outlier, they were just making a point that these things happen.
Regardless, you can't just respond to a specific example with broad generalizations. It's textbook 'whataboutism'.
- kwp 6y agoSince when is "whataboutism" forbidden and who cares? It is just a stupid Internet meme to shut down discussions.
- darkerside 6y agoOP recommended avoiding an entire asset class based on the example, so I think OP was guilty of generalizing here. The child comment also generalized about PE and its practitioners, which I agree was not a strong argument, but I don't think invalidates the entire post.
