But I'll say it all again: I've explicitly said multiple times that I'm referring to anecdotal observations. I have knocked no one. What I have done, however, is civilly discuss an observed pattern of newhires hired outside the flow and without criticism and to wit, I even included the caveat that there must certainly be folks out there that I'm unaware of that deviate from what I've observed. How could there not be, right? And you mentioned one yourself! Great. Thank you. I've also explicitly said on multiple occasions that I've got nothing against these folks. You read those parts, right? Because it doesn't seem like it. They are all good people who have found good fortune in their circumstances. I've hidden none of these sentiments. But, thank you all the same for your nice opinions.

I do know who you are, but that's beside the point. You don't know the circumstances of many of these people who you're freely speaking about, yet you minimize their efforts to the simple catchphrase of "mommy and daddy". The connotations are plain and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what you're saying. You're working hard, and they simply found some good fortune. That's the message I'm getting.
