@pluralistic … and I am seeing it more and more in professional circles. “I’m starting a conversation!”, I’ve been told. No, you’re imposing on me, an actual expert on certain topics, the obligation of correcting the word salad you had generated and then vomited into the world. You’re then adding the puss-filled cherry to this shit sundae by suggesting that you deserve credit, rather than opprobrium, for this selfish act.
