| > This is not universally accepted, Try saying that to your boss who does in fact outrank you. > I'm demonizing you for what you said Do you make it a habit? You ever consider misinterpretation or do you just blame the other person's wording? My use of the word is not incorrect, and no I do not mean superior human being. If that is what I meant, I would have put human being after superior. > I'm not going to try guess your best intention. You should. Always. Please do. > language that doesn't make me think No one's language will make you think anything. Your thoughts are your own. Own them. Think about that. And if you've misidentified an arrogant narcissist or a fascist, that's on you. > Lots of people. It's awful. Hence the purpose of my response. Like you? And your purpose is what? To demonize me? Why? > your "superior" can't necessarily fire you, nor should they be able to any more than you can fire them. So here what needs repairing. Have you ever worked "under" someone? Or is that "beneath" you? Or is this language damaging? Yes, they can fire you, and no you can't fire them. Trying to get them fired is not the same, and already you're admitting you can't do it directly. They can do it directly. You get to quit if you don't enjoy the work being served on your plate. That's all it is. I apologize if I offended you. That was not my intent. You could have guessed that. However, you are personally offensive, by your own admission. Demonizing people is offensive. And you continue to do so even after I've clarified my point. |
