  • I think you’re answering your own question here.

    Your blunt coworker has to explain himself or risks being taken as rude by people who don’t know him. You yourself couldn’t determine if he was being rude to you without some additional context.

    Without further context, you don’t know how to interpret an email that says where is my spreadsheet motherfucker.

    In both cases, you’re saying further social cues are needed to determine if someone you don’t know very well is being rude or not. Hence, why people emailing people they don’t know very well in a professional capacity include niceties to convey context and tone.







  • I mean, in fairness, the report did find that he broke the law, but the investigator declined to prosecute based on his findings. Decline to prosecute =/= found no laws were broken.

    Edit for the butthurt: page 1, paragraph 2 of the report:

    “Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”

    As others have said, whether they could establish mens rea in a court of law is another question. But they found evidence of willfulness.
