Why do you ask though? That just seems a strange and irrelevant comment in the context of the post...
Or was it meant to be a reply to someone else's comment and would make more sense in that context?
- mmooss 1y agoWhy do you ask why do I ask? :) Seriously, what are you thinking? I'm trying to shift thinking outside the emotionally charged perspective of the event.

I'm not the person that you're replying to but I'll give it a shot. > I'm trying to shift thinking outside the emotionally charged perspective of the event. The re-framing suggests there is no qualitative difference between an employee throwing a sandwich at a representative of a service provider hired by their employer and a protester throwing a sandwich at law enforcement. The differences seem obvious but I have to assume you believe there is none: if they are different, the question is not relevant. So why ask the question? Perhaps a more direct question could be why do you think the two scenarios are so comparable?
