Why this post? To express appreciation for Marcos and Daily Kos after attacks on him.
The motivation for this post was at least in part as a response not only to the DKG attacks on Marcos, Will, and DKM, but also this over the top language directed at Marcos:
[I am replying to the author of a post that including the quotes below . I then further point out the over the top language and implied threats by using all caps. ]
(Before quoting that over the top language, I describe it as:)
incredibly harsh and (has an) ugly tone:
"Tonight’s post is going to give any good union lawyer a way to put you personally on trial in court or in front of the National Labor Relations Board. I pray for your sake and the sake of this site the rumors of you having laid off all the founders of the Guild was a misrepresentation because if not I guess you will lose everything in the resulting settlement. If a single thing you’ve said tonight is factually wrong, even if you think it to be correct you can count on those union lawyers taking you personally to the cleaners.
This sort of angry outburst is going to cost you further reputational harm and exposes you to personal litigation. Doesn’t matter if you are right and absolutely right to be personally pissed off. This sort of rant never, ever helps. Being the top of that pyramid means taking abuse and staying silent. Personally, I think somebody just played you and you lost."
(My words): Marcos' post is not at all an angry outburst. This is over the top language and threats.
(The other person's words)
"
PERSONALLY ON TRIAL .. YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING
A SINGLE THING IS WRONG .. TAKING YOU PERSONALLY TO THE CLEANERS
REPUTATIONAL HARM
EXPOSES YOU TO PERSONAL LITIGATION
RANT
SOMEBODY PLAYED YOU AND YOU LOST "
There is so much over the top extreme language and bullshit here that it's fairly amazing for it all to appear in a single post. I wrote the words and phrases that I am referring to in all capitalized letters.
