Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

MODERATORS
Don't forget to mention said resource was unable to get hired at a job that paid better than your company.... (which, no offense, isn't likely to be very good if you're having this kind of conversation)
We tended to have very expensive engineers and very cheap designers. That was emblematic of where customers placed their value and, thus, where management placed their priority in hiring.
That said, of the four designers… one went to NASA, one went to Amazon, one went to McDonald’s (leading global service design research) and then to Lyft.
They were very talented folks
