“She is not a rock star”

That is a statement about relevance and I would argue to be a “rock star” you also have to have a lot of accomplishments.

You might not agree that she is a rock start but you did make comments about her relevance (“twitter followers” etc)


It is quite explicitly not a statement indicating I believe them to be irrelevant or not famous.

This is immediately clear when, immediately after these two words, I mention Twitter followers, clearly indicating I believe they have fame and relevance.

It's abundantly clear when I spell out that companies don't make product decisions based on famous hires. (n.b. rock stars get to dictate the concert and album schedule)

It's ever the more clear when I name famous and relevant people as similes.

It's absolutely abundantly clear once you notice I never used the words famous and relevant, or words with stems of the same.

It's a fools errand to spend time imagining thoughts in other people's heads that twist their words into insults of other people.


Really? This is what you want to spend your time on doing?

> Source for where I claimed this?

Source for where I said you claimed this?

> Source for where I said anything about accomplishments or relevance?

Source for where I said anything about you straight up saying anything about accomplishments or relevance?

> Source? I don't know where this is from at all.

You said: “Hiring someone with a lot of Twitter followers to do something doesn't preclude the company from stopping doing something.”

Now you’re gonna act coy by acting undignified about me interpreting “to do something” and “stopping doing something” to refer to working on PWA support when that has been the topic of this thread the entire time?

Have some dignity.


This would have been easier: "oh, I missed a line break, imagine a \n after 'doesn't preclude the company from stopping doing something."

If you needed to get a dig in, could have appended "I would imagine you would have remembered and/or noticed that at least the first sentence was in your post"
