&gt; Bringing up a subject while denying it should be brought up...<p>I pointed to and accounted for everything in my original comment and the follow-on comment.<p>When did I deny that anything I brought up in my original topic should be brought up? That&#x27;s not what&#x27;s going on here.<p>You appear to be claiming that -despite my repeated assertions to the contrary- I compared poor corporate governance to spousal abuse in my original comment.<p>I didn&#x27;t.<p>I don&#x27;t know how much clearer I can make this for you.<p>Edit: I remembered an old comment that I wrote a while back that explains how I feel about writing and how I try to structure my writing. [0] Maybe this might make things clearer for you.<p>To save you a click, I&#x27;ll quote it inline:<p>&quot;The world would be a <i>far</i> better place if fewer people would read between the lines of a given statement, and <i>more</i> people would make a habit of <i>carefully</i> parsing statements that others make.<p>When one writes words for general consumption, it&#x27;s <i>oh</i> so <i>tiresome</i> to front-load one&#x27;s writing with a bevy of disclaimers and preemptive clarifications. You will <i>inevitably</i> fail to include one clause or another, causing <i>someone</i>, <i>somewhere</i> to successfully misunderstand your words.<p>It&#x27;s better to write <i>exactly</i> what you mean, as clearly as you are able, and -when writing for capable adults- trust that your audience is capable adults who know how to read what has been written and know not to infer meaning in inappropriate places.&quot;<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10445737" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=10445737</a>
