Yeah, the "panties in a bunch" is an expression, not a condescending personal attack. As far as everything else, I do think a lot of the reaction here since the Preston news broke has been hysterical and, in some cases, childish and dumb. I didn't say that anyone here is personally childish and dumb. I also made arguments in support of what I'm saying, and if you disagree with me you're more than welcome to challenge me.
As I stated previously, I think anyone reacting to the salary info like it is some kind of scandal isn't putting the information in the proper context, because I think when put in the proper context it shows that Preston was actually elevated and rewarded for his performance much quicker than he would be in other organizations. That is my opinion. If you don't agree, explain why not rather than come with this ad hominem nonsense about me being condescending.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions here, and part of that is also explaining and defending your ideas, not just expecting to be able to say whatever wrong thing you want with impunity. If you disagree with what I'm saying about something, tell me why I'm wrong. I'd like to engage in a discussion and test my ideas. But don't get indignant tell me I'm condescending because I disagree with you. And if people are PMing you to complain about me, they are welcome to reach out to me directly. Probably be much more effective for them.
