Nope, not reduced a bit. Only your last 6 bullets were even semi-relevant (but still snarky) as the rest were mostly semantic nitpicking.
FWIW, "Childish" and "unprofessional" can arguably be used interchangeably in this case since they both present the concept of acting in contrast to the social norm of the group (adults & professionals), though their dictionary definitions are far from synonyms.
- nknighthb 12y agoTo me, "unprofessional" means "human", "professional" means "dishonest sociopath". These are not semantic nitpicks. They have much deeper meaning. I cannot stop you from dismissing them, but I hope you will consider them more than you have.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoI actually upvoted you, because all your bullets are technically true and are worth meditating on. But I guess in this case, the most relevant conclusion would be that people whining about unprofessionalism and people whining about professionalism are two different groups; usually one speaks up and the other stays silent.
- ddoolin 12y agoI did consider them -- It just seemed to take the original statement very literally (not actually confusing, but shocking) which seems condescending or snarky at best. But if you were being sincere, then I apologize for the comment.
