No you moved the goalpost from half-justifying, to "tough shit, sometimes you just gotta deal with it". Which I agree with insofar that some things are just "the way they are", but it's a completely different argument.
- coldtea 11y agoWait, what goalpost? I wasn't making an argument initially, I was making an observation: "He's curt, maybe justifyingly so, but still...". Then I further expanded upon that, based on the comment I got, that "that's how it is, if you're good at something you often get to dictate how you treat people who want it". Wasn't meaning it to be an argument (to be met with counter arguments, to move goalposts, etc), just plain observation of how it is, as I see it, in both cases.
