Is the problem with the comment the tone or the content?
- jfoster 13y agoI'm guessing it's more the tone, but probably also the content a little. Sometimes it doesn't hurt to leave some things unsaid even if there could be some truth to them.
- foobarqux 13y agoIt hurts because it distorts people's perceptions which impairs their judgement: If you never talk about things going sideways then people underestimate how often it happens which may cause them to pursue something that they wouldn't otherwise.
- dionidium 13y agoAre you trying to point out that tone doesn't matter, only content? I hope not. That would be a boring thing to have to hear again.
