Today I criticized a friend on X for his reporting, and I was a bitch about it, so I think it may be time that I make something very clear.
I am a very nuanced person. When I criticize someone‘s work, I do not generalize my criticisms onto their *body of work* or onto their person.
I can disagree with something someone has done or said, or how someone has handled a situation, without discrediting what they have done in the past or will do in the future. My criticisms apply to what I criticize and to nothing above or beyond that.
Given the comments Ive received not just today but on previous criticisms ive voiced on other people/entities in this space - for example my criticisms of BPI’s EO draft - it seems that this nuance is not always clear to everyone.
Criticizing something a person has done does not make them a bad person, even less does it imply that *I* think that they are a bad person. Criticizing something and entity has done does not make the entity a bad entity, nor does it imply that *I* believe so.
I am very harsh in my criticisms because this nuance exists in the way I think about the world. If you werent aware, please make sure to keep this in mind. PSA over🤘
