That’s not an Easter egg. But also I would expect the baker to warn me that it had cream cheese if just to set my expectations. I have a tea jar in the kitchen and it’s full of Earl Grey instead of builders tea (eg Darjeeling). If anyone makes their own tea I warn them that the tea jar is Earl Grey and I have builders tea in one of the cupboards above the kettle. I don’t do this because the Earl Grey is an Easter egg. I do this because I’m not a dick and actually want people to enjoy their cup of tea.

> expect the baker to warn me Your expectations of someone's free cake are too high, or you didn't understand the analogy. I don't think we will find a resolution between us, but I'll leave you with a bit of wisdom my father once gave me as I made a similar complaint about a free donut: "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." Good day

  You’re conflating disagreement with misunderstanding. I understood your point fine, I gave a counterpoint on why I disagreed. Also calling your cake story an “analogy” is giving it far too much credit given it had nothing to do with Easter eggs; let alone my original rebuttal regarding critical systems. > I'll leave you with a bit of wisdom my father once gave me as I made a similar complaint about a free donut: "You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose." That’s both crass and irrelevant.

    I'm only now noticing you've replied to almost everything I've said, and quite negatively, so I think some apology is in order as it seems I've maybe touched a nerve I was not aware of. I want to be the bigger person and wholeheartedly apologize to my esteemed colleague. I'm sorry. Original comment [1] made me aware that I've inspired some emotions in you about this particular topic, which was not my intent, bless your heart. Take care, have a great day, and hopefully we can both enjoy our own cake respectively.

I’ve only replied to my thread and one other post. Hardly everywhere. And you’ve not hit a nerve nor am I being unduly negative. This is a discourse and in conversations it’s not unusual for people to take opposing stances. What I do dislike is people taking conversations to a meta level and arguing about the argument rather than discussing the topic directly. I’m obviously happy to agree to disagree if an impasse has been reached but please don’t deflect the discussion with assumptions about one’s emotional well being
