I hear this sort of thing so often. Not the OP; I mean your comment. "I can't believe anyone in this industry could be so obnoxious/callous/racist/misogynist/solipsist." It's true that most people are unreliable witnesses, but don't forget there is also our tendency to discredit unflattering stories of people like ourselves. Let's face it: this kind of bullshit behavior is hardly unheard of. The only surprising part of the story is the quantity of bullshit -- the quality of each individual nugget is all too familiar.
