Going with the Steelman path - This is true if I sincerely believed in the company, likely promoted them to others, and was emotionally invested. I definitely would want one. As a shareholder, I would demand one.
Anyway, based on the OP's tone of this thread, I doubt they were emotionally invested let alone a paying customer - but assumptions.
- Dylan16807 3y agoYou sure didn't steelman the OP. They said the explanation is suspicious. That doesn't mean they feel like they are personally owed an explanation.
- samhuk 3y agoThis best describes my feeling.
- irjustin 3y agoWas steelmanning what I quoted which was not the OP.
- Dylan16807 3y agoYes. Which is bad.
- irjustin 3y agoWait... Why?
- Dylan16807 3y agoThe bad part was not steelmanning the OP even a tiny bit, when you're fully familiar with the idea and expectation.
- irjustin 3y agoAh got it. You've got a weird requirement for steelman arguments.
- Dylan16807 3y agoThat it's rude to steelman one person while taking the worst interpretation of another person? I don't think that's weird.
- jzb 3y ago“Just because they left a comment saying the explanation was suspicious, nobody would reasonably infer they feel entitled to an explanation.” Uh-huh
- Dylan16807 3y agoWhat doesn't make sense about that? Even if you don't owe me any explanation, if you freely give me a bad one I'm allowed to say there's something weird going on. Especially if you chose to make a fully public post about it. Read the comment again. "perplexed" "It only communicates" "Am I reading too much into this" "curious". I don't see any implication of being owed more. It's a criticism that the post is not leaving the message that is intended. It's not the same, but it reminds me of the quote: My "Not involved in human trafficking" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
