> [@Hentor\_the\_Barbarian](#): > > No actually. None of it. Not one bit. I thought I was following along until I got to the point about repeatedly referring to person a as persona. What is persona? If it was supposed to be “person a”, what is confusing about person a being referred to as person a? It reminded me of reading _War and Peace_ and trying to figure out whether Laryushka, Lary, and Larisa Petrovna were the same person. ---

> [@grama](#): > > Sensitive much?.. I hope I never have to work with someone like you. :rolleyes: At least you spelled “sensitive” correctly. But if you found my takeaway to be overbroad, feel free to consider that, even if it’s NOT a pretty good rule for anyone in a position of authority, it’s pretty applicable to someone who already lost a job in the past for not following it.
