the (insulting but well-founded) comment to Jerome

The comment is:


Jerome might have some success but I wonder how many people he's hurt to get to where he is.  

What does that mean, exactly? Where am I? On ET? Speaking about offshore wind farms? And who did I hurt to get there ? Hurting people's feelings because I don't like discussion of astrological signs or unfounded conspiracy theories is one thing, but how exactly did that get me anywhere ?

Or are you somehow saying that I hurt people elsewhere to get to that "there" you're thinking about?

I would appreciate your making explicit what you seem to imply.

First, I apologize for phrasing #2 very poorly:  I felt torn between empathizing with mmmm for accumulated hurt feelings and your claiming no knowledge of past incidents.  

Otherwise, mmmm´s words are not mine.  I discriminate between personal and professional roles, so there is no connection there, but I´m glad you recognize hurting feelings and I hope you tell mmmm.

Reviewing her comment, I see a hurt reaction and it is not expressed appropriately, so I will remove that 4 now.

Out to lunch.
