Typical nice guy response. I never said any of those things, that it was better to be a jerk or toxic, but you assume that I did.

  The irony of this response is that I didn't actually claim that you said any of those things. I commented on the book's content and the summary you gave. Thia reaction of yours is telling though. As well as how you finished your original message: > niceness has become a huge red flag to me ever since reading that book. I much prefer someone who is good (in competence and/or in behavior) than someone who is nice. "Niceness" as a red flag? How does that not confirm what I wrote and put you in the camp of those agreeing with the book's message?

  > Say nice guys suck > Somebody disagrees! > "Typical nice guy response". Don't do this. This pattern is easy to spot and you instantly lose all credibility.

    > Don't do this. This pattern is easy to spot and you instantly lose all credibility. The difference is, I don't go around telling you what to do. Be a nice guy if you want. I simply stated my way of thinking, but it angers the "nice guys" and I get attacked for it. Oh, and you're not the gatekeeper of credibility, nor do I care how "credible" my opinion is to you (what does that even mean?). Credibility of opinions is just more "nice guy speak".

      > just more "nice guy speak". Not credible and tedious to boot. I know you just learned of this "nice guy" conceit, and you're all excited about it, but I hope you grow out of it soon. Just because you have a new hammer doesn't mean everything is a nail.
