Re: All Is Not As It Seems said by LadyCash:
First it was a sarcastic remark.
. . .
Just because I am a woman does not give you the right to treat me like I am some female bimbo without brains or an ounce of sense!!
1. Sarcasm is not always clear in forums like this.
2. My response had NOTHING to do with your gender. You're not getting any different treatment here because of your gender, so don't expect any. I resent the fact that you tried (but failed) to stuff the word "bimbo" in my mouth. Realize that you used that word, I didn't.
3. To the extent your sarcasm was trying to make a point, it would seem that the point would have to be that current events are more involved than they seem on the surface. My comments would indicate that it is my expectation that people should delve deeper into current events than just listening to superficial sound bites. We might actually agree on something here if we can get past your overblown reaction to my semi-sarcastic response to your sarcastic comment.

43938/43952 | My apologies. I would blame it on a bad hair day but do not fuss with my hair either. 
The stress of trying to be everywhere at once, deadlines, and too many people trying to put this unique peg in a round hole made one on edge lady.
Of course that is a lousy excuse for bad manners, form and "over blown reaction".
Back to the regular program (thread). People need to get past the knee jerk emotions (please review my post prior to this one for a clear example of that) and logically seek and look at all the facts from more than one source.
I know of a situation where knee jerk reactions and not wanting to part with one penny actually cost 34% more than what they refused. The sad truth of any situation like that is that not only do the fools suffer but everyone involved (e.g. other employees, customers, etc).
It is not limited to one business area. It is wide spread. Once the emotions start there is no reasoning with that person or persons. The nay sayers love telling horror stories that are so removed from the original that the emotions never die down. A PR dream come true. Gossip is a good friend to many a PR campaign.
Just plant a seed of doubt add a liberal watering of horror stories and you can destroy the credibility of a person, ideal, etc. Ever in doubt of this really happening just check out the many webpages dedicated to urban legends, hoaxes, etc. You will find even respected persons spouting this misinformation as truth without ever looking into it.
It is truly sad in this age of information at our finger tips. |
