It seems obvious, but, the man on top of the mountain didn't fall there

@bijouxbroussard that's a myopic view though

@averageguy Doesn’t mean it can’t be accurate.

@bijouxbroussard it's a microscopic view, and that's the problem

@averageguy Sometimes, it’s an accurate view, though. To say it never happens is myopic…and naive.

@bijouxbroussard lol, but you want to put a blanket view on all

@averageguy Nooo…I started by saying,
Occasionally he climbed there on the backs of others…

You do understand “occasionally” doesn’t mean always, right ? And I followed up with "sometimes”.

I’m thinking you saw what you expected—

@bijouxbroussard and that's the whole problem. You want to be able to say 'sometimes', while attacking the whole organization. On your terms or beliefs, not on the law as established

@averageguy You made the statement:


My reply was,

Which is sometimes the why behind being “pilloried” by others. Or do you think it always happens in a vacuum ? I wasn’t attacking you personally, I was reacting to your words, and thought you were speaking hypothetically, I was, as well.

@bijouxbroussard we can't speak hypothetically, there is no room for that anymore

@averageguy Why don’t you think so ?
