> His allegations were a mix of the implausible and the cliché. It would take a remarkably naïve candidate to both take these allegations at face value, and think Reddit is somehow unusual in being on the wrong end of them. If not having this stain is the criteria by which they judge potential employers, they will find no employment.

1) Well, that is demonstrably false. I'm employed just fine.

2) I've encountered a similar situation before that was a real toxic mess where I took the view you espouse and I regret it. So I think you are the one who is naive.

But hey, whatever. I must be lying since your absolutist view is 100% correct to you.

In a thread where you are defending a CEO being criticized as, amongst other things, childish, do you not see the irony of this?

Given you are making absolute statements that are demonstrably false, I was hoping being childish would get the point across that I consider the validity of your argument on par with childish behavior.

Sorry that wasn't clear.

Let me make user I understand this. Because in the course of a long conversation I made statements you disagreed with without equivocating enough for your tastes, you thought the appropriate response was to be childish?

Deliberately childish behavior engaged in to be manipulative makes it easy to conclude someone lacks integrity.

Is it your intent to be dismissed as lacking integrity?
