This is a pattern I dislike: “okay this doesn’t work for me but it’d work
for other so beware!”.
The most often I hear this, it’s from people saying “of course I work for
free most of the time but *nobody else would ever* do that, so we should
never expect for it to happen!”.
This is a bad pattern as you dismiss the fact you have no tangible direct
proof of what you assume, but you want to lead to concrete reaction
netherless…
I mean, when someone resorts to insults… they’re not to be taken as much
seriously as before, are they? So it is reasonable to then more easily
ignore them, right?
