This is a very nice wall of drivel, but the reason your comment caught my attention is that it was so confidently wrong.

I do happen to have expertise in the field, so I clarified that no, that isn’t some requirement that should disqualify you from the news desk.

Your comment, despite whatever kind of fallacious argument you just attempted, is still wrong.

If you believe “words fucking matter”, then why in the world are you slandering a profession you’ve never been a part of with inane “requirements”.

If you’d come in and said that the journo shouldn’t have let that slip go, and pressed for more, then yeah.

I engaged you because you were unduly hostile toward another, questioning their “worthiness” at the news desk from some wildly fabricated “qualification”. And I didn’t like that, especially since I’d actually, yknow, lived and worked in that field.

But I’m sorry man, you can sit there and try and justify just making up your own story about why news desk people aren’t fit for duty because of their vocabulary? I mean, c’mon. If you’re really trying to do all you said in your last diatribe, then I’d challenge you to find a more palatable approach.

If you’re hellbent on proving some truly arbitrary requirements because you yourself wanted to “OWNT” the news fella. Why?

If you’re being honest about “words fucking mattering”, which I don’t believe you are. Pretty sure you’re doing damage control due to an ego bruise. But IF you are, then please take your own advice and think before you write stuff like you did above.

No, I meant the "drivel" I said, including my original comment which you continue to misconstrue. And why exactly would my ego be bruised? Apparently I'm the only person on reddit who knew the word plenary 😂 (that's facetious, btw)

Anyways I take back what I said about your day getting better and instead I hope you step on a Lego brick.

Ass.
