    Please spare me your strongman, “sticks and stones may break my bones” schtick. I’m not talking about soft shit like that.

    I was addressing you from the standpoint of workshopping potential reasons why your attempt at persuasion was facing pushback (in the form of downvotes). My expectation was that, if you wanted to persuade people to adopt your method of HR interaction, you should package it in a palatable way. You seem to subscribe to the “shit yourself in public, stomp around aggressively, and then try convince people by saying do ya get it yet? you smellin' what I'm steppin' in?” school of communication.

    One thing I will agree with you about is that I was imprecise with my words. I’ve used money, so I am a capitalist. Guess I’ll die. I meant, and should have said, you seem pro-capitalist. But, as we’ve already established, you’re uninterested in looking good.

      I’m not trying to persuade anyone, I’m just calling out idiocy as I see it.

      That said, I notice my comments have provoked some discussion about what HR does.
