This comes off as though you didn't even read the comment you're replying to. I don't see how you can, in good faith, frame their point as "the most miniscule issue".
Lets try it the other way around - convince me that the issue at hand isn’t way overblown. I promise to try to be as objective as possible.
Thats what the original comment did, and you neglected all of their points.
Within the context of Basecamp internal company chat, demands that employees must prove they're not A Bad Person by repeating an particular string of words (as though that would prove anything anyway) is an incredibly minuscule issue indeed.
How is this related to the GP comment?
It sounds like the two of us have different ideas about what the GGP referred to as the issue when they said "You cannot build a solid baseline on an employee who can implode any second on the most miniscule issue."
