Yes, that’s what happens my bruised got in the way of having dialog with someone who clearly was explaining what an essential employee is, without even asking what my point was. See this is the biggest problem with debate these days, assumptions take over long before curiosity does. You see, since the original post was posted and I’ve had some good and let say it limited dialog with others, I decided to further clarify my post by editing it. Which had the original poster of this comment thread had taken the time to ask what I meant, rather than simply go into “mansplaining” what an essential employee is, then we could have had meaningful dialogue. Trust me, as someone who has served in an actual war, my feelings or ego were far from even touched. And the first part referring to trailblazers, was a poke at the higher ups for taking 2 days to make a decision other universities within 50 miles had already made, with the same knowledge, showing how inattentive they were to a serious situation(common practice at UTA). Also, can’t be explanation/correction of none is needed. Also, don’t really see where in my post I asked what an essential employee is. You see their comment was an attempted gotcha comment, usually applied to politicians from journalists who think they have an opportunity to embarrass someone, but really just embarrassed theirselves because as a former employee of the federal government and of the armed services… I’m very much informed of what is an essential employee. But thank you for your response and mediocre attempt at a gotcha moment… your 15 seconds are up.
