No, I didn't make it sound like that. You are, once again, inventing a strawman, and drawing wild conclusions based on insufficient knowledge. Last week's thread is not unrelated. It shows the same pattern of inane, bad-faith behavior.

So saying that publicly signing something "The Management" while working in a company the size of Intel is comically vague, and saying people should lighten up a bit without additional info and perspective, that is acting in bad faith? I am not trying to offend anyone with this commentary, it is my own opinion.

You didn't say that.

> saying people should lighten up

You didn't say that, either. Which is good, because "lighten up" is not, has never been, and will never be a reasonable thing to say to anyone, anytime, anywhere.

Your original comment wasn't unreasonable. Where you started going off the rails was initially with "May I remind you", which is patronizing.

Then "Maybe you should share that first, rather than leaving it implicit.", chiding me for failing to magically know that you lacked knowledge that is relatively common within the set of people who care about the subject at hand.

Then you characterized my statements as describing a "huge conspiracy". Being unaware of any "huge conspiracy", only a lot of wide-open politics, this is, to me, at once puzzling and insulting. "oddly paranoid" makes it even worse.

Then you accuse me of pretending to have inside knowledge of Intel, when I did no such thing, and did not intend to, and say I should "disclose" this thing I don't have, as if I'm trying to hide something.

And now you seek to rewrite history.

I am pretty sure I did say these things. But nevermind. More importantly I don't think I'm guilty of nearly the malice you ascribed to me, and a part of me is wondering where you are based on the off chance we can share a beverage of your choice and you can see I'm not a monster. Is it the thread from last week that has you angry at me?

[nknighthb]

I didn't even know who you were until your third comment, which sounded eerily familiar. And there are certainly no circumstances under which I would voluntarily associate with someone who displays your pattern of lashing out whenever they don't understand something.

[asveikau]

Well, I tried. I would humbly suggest that one person's "lashing out" could be another's simple misunderstanding.

In the meantime I think there is a phrase you used to describe me, something along the lines of "willful misinterpretation"; I believe you may have done the same for me.
