        Right, and writing emotionally-charged headlines is unprofessional.

        That’s why you see it all the time at /r/conservative.

          🤷sure? Don’t think anyone here disagrees with that statement. Also, that’s not what’s happening here in this thread. This isn’t a headline in Conservative. It’s a hyperbolic comment rebuttal to hyperbolic sensationalism, meant to drive the point home. I think this is satire?

            So, it’s not a real suggestion and calling it out as such was right from the very beginning?

              Yes. No. It was an example not meant to be taken seriously. So as satire, it needn’t be called out bc those in the know, should know. And since you seem to agree with the sentiment, you’re in the in group, and we are all confused why as a peer with shared values to whatever extent, you’re taking this comment somewhere so far removed.

              Might I ask what you do for a living in earnest? I’m paid to communicate which I’m not always great at. But it always makes me wonder how people use that skill at their trade.

              I’m asking bc… do you never share an example for arguments sake not meant to be taken literally? With people with whom you’re neither related nor friends? It’s kind of a part of society.

              Like at work I might finish a thought with “and then some call to action about buy my shit or something” but my colleagues neither question my recognition of the value of our product nor my regard for our prospective customers. They know it’s a placeholder bc the context of the conversation.

              I’m truly asking, not being a dick.

        No you don’t.

        You’re just upset at what’s being said so you’re trying to scrutinize it as though it doesn’t make sense.

        I see it all the time and don’t hold most people above that behavior.

          there is a lot to unpack here. you still didn’t answer the question. which kind of speaks volumes. you sure you didn’t want to clear the air, explain to the rest of us what you consider a professional setting? where you work helps to understand. if you work in a data center vs a swamp skiff in florida those are two different settings for professionals.

          i like that you told me what i was after as if you were a wizard or mind reader and then implanted your own fears. why would i scrutinize you? you have an opinion regarding something and i want to compare/contrast.

            I mean, if you need clarification on what a professional article should look like, then you can find guides on the internet or take a class in school.

            I’m not here to explain things to you. I predict you’re the kind of person who, after I give an explanation, will just keep asking questions and scrutinizing it because you don’t like what’s being said.

            I don’t hold you above this behavior, which is why I’m not playing your little game.

            I’m sure you can find out this information on your own if you really wanted to, but you don’t.

              you really don’t know what a professional setting is, do you?

              It’s a simple question and your many diatribes about not answering are quite pathetic as well as telling.

              what is a professional setting to You.

                You must be new to the internet.

                That’s okay. I’m gonna block you for now while you get more experience and think about why answering everyone’s stupid questions is a waste of time.
