What's your background, and what position was the company looking to fill?
I was accused of this same thing on a "Who is Hiring" thread a while back. I posted about looking specifically for senior front end engineers. What I got instead was close to 50 emails from boot camp grads, many of them data science.
If candidates feel the need to disregard what I say, why exactly do they deserve my time in return?
Ok. Throwing someone's words back at them with "hah" is being a jerk. Claiming someone "wants to lie" when there are plenty of other obvious explanations is being a jerk. So is venting your frustration on some dude just because he happens to work for the company, especially when he was trying to be nice and you prefer to assume bad faith. So is overposting about this instead of saying your piece once and letting it go. And actually, acting like your bad experience generalizes universally and justifies your being vengeful, is also kind of being a jerk.
Interesting rationalization. Thanks for putting it into words.
I agree that my tone was could have been better.
I don't buy the rest of your arguments, and would not comment on them for the sake of being misinterpreted again -- following the Golden rule of not feeding the trolls.
