These two statements are in conflict.
- badman_ting 13y agoI don't mean to imply that aragot is an asshole, but no, I would expect an asshole to say something along those lines.
- mhurron 13y ago> I would expect an asshole to say something along those lines. An asshole doesn't care if they offend, irritate or otherwise cause problems.
- jleader 13y agoBut some assholes do claim to care. It's a clever way of avoiding blame, by saying "I don't _want_ people to get angry, so it's not my fault when they get angry at the horrible things I say or do."
- josefresco 13y agoThe worst are assholes that know they are assholes and make no attempt to change, only warn you that they are in fact an asshole. Assholes are only tolerated, never respected.

- josefresco 13y agoI'm assuming you're referencing Jobs as an example of the type of asshole I'm referring to and not the exception. I doubt a single person respected Jobs because of his assholeness. They might re-brand it as being "passionate" or "disciplined" or "uncompromising" but most first hand accounts of his interactions were anything but positive. People tolerated him because of his recent success but history was not always so forgiving to his brand of leadership.
