  • There’s no “requirement” to do anything.

    People fall in and out of the public eye. That’s a fact.

    CCP can wait until someone falls out of the public eye to do something about an unwanted individual. That’s a fact.

    Sure, if you think it’s your responsibility to save any such unwanted individual, you can interpret what they said as “you need a lifetime commitment”, but I don’t think that’s what they meant.

    It was an observation, not an accusation for a personal failing.

















  • But on that issue, are you putting the other person on blast for not sharing the info?

    No, because it’s in the article being discussed at hand. It’s already been shared, some folks have ignored it.

    It’s so weirdly worded to avoid the truth it almost has to be deliberate.

    If you read the second paragraph of their comment, it further goes on to say it’s just about the terrain. That second paragraph then reframes the first paragraph, because that first paragraph just states that organizers didn’t comment on the crime, and the second paragraph says what the organizers actually focused on instead.

    Sure, quoting the first sentence out of context makes it seem so deliberately precise that it could be misleading, but the second sentence provides the context that shows why they were so absolute in that statement.

    They were simply claiming that the race organizers weren’t being political when they founded the race - they just saw challenging terrain and figured they’d be able to give it a go and get do much better.


  • Look, man, if you didn’t read the article and were misled by the auto generated summary, do not blame someone else for not spelling it out for you.

    Maaaybe, step 2 of that miscommunication might’ve been them not explicitly spelling everything out for you, but what was step 1?

    It was you commenting without having read the article at hand.

    Guess which one of these two is within YOUR control to prevent future misunderstandings?

    Things might be different if this comment thread wasn’t centered around a single article, but it is, so the reasonable assumption is that participants in the conversation have read the article.

    EDIT: Don’t get me wrong, you get props for going back in the article and recognizing that it provides a very different context from the auto generated summary, but I just don’t think chastising someone else without acknowledging that you messed up by not reading the article is the play.
