Discussion? Your first ever post in off-topic was a whiny rant about workplace behavior for people who have had something horrible happen to them.

Wrong. It was a whiny rant about hostile workplace behavior in which I used so-called horrible things for emphasis.

Funny thing is, it sounds like the guy you are describing might just be a jerk. But your OP immediately set things off on the wrong foot.

I agree. I shouldn't have tried to use anything for emphasis.

You should try hanging out in the Politics thread for a bit.

I doubt that I will.
