You have no idea who I hate. To me Mitt Romney is on the same footing as George Soros or the Easter bunny. I've never met them. They are notions that live in my head based on things I've heard and read about them in the media. I might dislike the idea of them or what they've supposedly done but to hate them would be absurd.

To say that mutual hatred of Santa Claus-level figures is a starting point for discourse says a lot about your attitude. Please review the HN commenting guidelines.

Are you trying to say with a straight face that a law introduced by a Republican and passed by the first Republican-controlled legislature in 40 years is "de-regulation under Bill Clinton"? And then, surprise, George Soros pops into the mix without any mention of Romney-connected Bain Capital owning part of iHeart/Clear Channel which is an order of magnitude bigger?

Seems intellectually disingenuous to me.

I learned years ago to either give constructive mutually agreed upon ahead of time peer reviews or not give any. I always run this type of stuff by the recipient to make sure that it isn't a surprise. Not too long ago I had one cartoonishly insecure coworker recruit another colleague to their cause of poo-pooing me. The latter wrote something like "they care more about doing things right than delivering quickly" because I surfaced too many obvious architectural issues in my PR comments (actual ones where they departed from our mutually agreed spec, not trite OO pedant nonsense). Thankfully my manager told me of it and dismissed it in much the same manner I did but I didn't feel great about being thrust back to junior high school social behavior.

^ This. This x 100.

You choose your friends because you have shared interests and you make each other feel good. You have family because they brought you into the world and you have shared qualities and bonds. You chose your job because it pays you. You do it for the ducats. Don't get it twisted.
