What really shocks me most in this post is the fact, that someone might be jokingly stating something like:<p><i>“This talk was so pointless. After she mentioned her kids at the beginning I started thinking of ways to hunt them down and punish her for wasting my time here.”</i><p>As the author put it, it is never, ever ok, even to joke on something like this. Never imho.<p>But this kind of humor(? or should I say, missing empathy, humanity) seems to run deep in some circles of our industry.<p>What this comment in the post tells me, is - not only do we have to deal with some childish idiots, but with persons showing signs of personality disorders.<p>Maybe persons commenting that way, should check with a professional. Just suggesting.
