I'm charging that he didn't in fact "get the point he's making".

He didn't make a nuanced reaction that recognizes two different truths, he stated one thing and then stated the opposite.

"I'm a generous person but I just want everything for myself." is not an example of nuance. It's an example of one or the other statement simply being untrue.

Fair enough, but you didn't just miss nuance, you inserted novel events.

I did not.

Given this piece of text:

>> I get the point he's making. But still, if he didn't like the lack of nuance why not find somewhere to work other than Microsoft?

Can you quote the specific portions of text that explicitly communicates these specific ideas:

- {something} is the only consideration in the universe

- {something} is the worst thing in the world

- Microsoft is intolerable

- that these problems are a uniquely MS problem

- Microsoft sucks
