He didn't respond to anything I wrote. He tossed off some
fuzzy claims of professional responsibility and told me
I was ranting.
Due to the multiple other responses I got, I'm very confident
I was NOT ranting.
So, the only way this discussion can continue (at least from my
perspective) is to learn a bit about my audience. I'm not here
to preach, ignoring who is reading it, tossing crap off to the
internet. I'm here to have a discussion, which means I need to
address the concerns of the individual I'm communicating with.
I layed the ground work, described my understanding of where
I THINK he MIGHT be coming from (but do not know), and asked for
clarification.
I will NOT attempt to "Discern his abilities". That's a crock.
I'm not observing him at work. He could be a 17 year old kid
in mama's basement,or he could be a lead admin in a fortune
500. Until he tells me, I have no clue. And even then, I
only have a clue since he could be bullshitting. But he's been
around long enough with enough historical posts that we could
probably dissect the bullshit, so I'd give him the benefit of
believing him to start off with.
And your balls ain't that big. Bigger than mine, sure, but
non-metallic.
