Why is it people who yell "Snowflake" seem to be the most sensitive of all?

Sorry Leon. I can't help myself. Please don't delete my account.

I hear you, Couldn't someone just stop posting instead of being all dramatic while yelling "LOOK AT ME". Same as Mr Bergin just couldn't help it.

Darwinism at work.

I loathe this "snowflake" "insult" that gets tossed around. Snowflakes are beautiful, unique, and sensitive. None of those are bad qualities in a human being.

Of course you are right....but bullies hate those things. (As we are all too often reminded these days)

Plus if you put millions of them together they can do some serious damage. Blizzard, avalanche etc...

Well then it must be a good one if it offends at least some people.

The last one is for a man. I pride myself on having a thick skin.

But with respect to boards, differences of opinion happen. In fact when these disagreements get heated, there are those who thrive on trading barbs.

The rugged never throw hissy fits about leaving after board exchanges. By definition only snowflakes do that.

He's wrong though, very wrong.

Yeah, because a lot of good has happened in the world due to insensitive, "thick-skinned" people. Oh, and of course lots of trouble-free kids!

Very true! Adam Smith being one of my very favourites.

Isn't the current crop of kids descended from flower child hippies who eventually became helicopter parents, i.e. really sensitive types all?

Yeah, but he's claiming to be leaving because others...and I quote..."easily get butt hurt".

So technically I guess, he got "butt hurt" over other people getting "butt hurt"?

I'm not sure. Might have to kick this up the chain of command to get a definitive answer on this one.

Honestly, I expected a higher understanding of irony from somebody who introduced themselves to us with the moniker "BigfootIsReal".

I guess what they say is true. Irony is officially dead.

Also, these things are not entirely the same...one can be thick-skinned and still acknowledge their sensitivity as a human being toward others. I would argue that one who describes themself as thick-skinned (denoting that one is able to deflect or brush off the insensivity of others) proves that they are, in fact, quite sensitive.
