I don't think English is his first language. Maybe not a glass house in this case.

Not sure what you mean. I guess the post I responded to seemed emotionally charged (not a bad thing!) and that there was a personal story behind that charge that the poster hinted at in the post. People do that sometimes... drop a hint about something personal in a conversation, hoping that the...

That's a bit ominous! What do you mean?

This is ingenious.

I see your overarching point. Both sides of an issue should be carefully examined before 'picking a side'. But even then... the concept of picking a side... yikes. No one is right or wrong 100% of the time. Rail against the wrong, but at least acknowledge when right is done. This is how everyone...

Access to Hasbro's distribution chain and other connections wasn't a benefit? Access to a large company's infrastructure and knowledge of how to work in the world of larger corporations wasn't a benefit? Not picking up what you're laying down here, at all.

Yeah, the benefits offered by Hasbro are not what they once were...

At this point, yes, it appears to me that WotC is propping up Hasbro. But that is the nature of businesses, families and friendships. At one point, Hasbro purchased WotC in order to make the whole stronger, and WotC benefited from that. At this point in their respective lifecycles, Hasbro is at...

I agree, I've seen that stance from the both of you, and I respect you both for it! The world is not populated by black hats and white hats. And people being people, even if they favour one form of haberdashery, they sometimes switch head gear. And even then, when and if they switch is often...

Also a possibility.

What do you mean? Hasbro purchased WotC in 1999. I'm not sure whatever WotC's employment practices were like 25 years ago has any relevance today.

There is a lot to unpack here. You're speaking from a place where this hurts you? Elaborate if you can.

You understand that wasn't a personal attack hopefully?

Ouch! It sounds like you're saying his work is something to worry about, as it's worse than his comment. If you're intending this to be a benefit to Dan, I would clarify that.

And the reason for that was not because of WotC's performance, but that Hasbro as a whole was hurting, so it had to seal the leaks by doing what it could across its entire enterprise. Not fair to WotC, but as a component of Hasbro, that's part of the cost. There are many benefits, but there are...

I understand what you're saying. The nature of Wall Street is that it attracts the soulless among us. The positive feedback loop of the sort of behaviour rewarded by Wall Street makes this so. In my opinion (my opinion, mind you...), I agree with you that special oversight is required to make...

BUT.... that doesn't mean don't look out for corporate malfeasance. That is rampant. It's human nature. Again, my experience with folks at this level is that they don't intend to be bad, but they are often... soulless, as someone on this thread put it. These are people who are particularly...

But sometimes people 'over scummify' things that have more reasonable explanations. Occam's Razor.

🤷‍♂️... sorry, you deserve that!

Maybe actually writing the valid point, like with words, is a more productive response than posting a meme?
