I think this is a pretty harsh framing. They directly ask for input from someone with expertise (indirectly making it known that their existing belief is not backed by relevant expertise). Then they state what their existing belief is. It reads to me like an invitation for someone to correct their existing belief.
- reaperman 3y agoIt was overly harsh. I'd apologize for that. But I'd have a less-strong reaction if they said "What do employment lawyers have to say about this? Could it be a discrimination lawsuit?" Instead, they said: > "Seems like a pretty obvious discrimination lawsuit." Which is the difference between lazy inquiry and spreading misinformation.
- bandyaboot 3y agoYeah admittedly it wasn’t a great way to go about asking the question…especially the “obvious” part.
