Equity Private has her oh-so-sophisticated PE-panties in a bunch, as she attacks The Epicurean Dealmaker for calling bullshit on her:
"It also betrays a peculiar brand of Aeron Chair Socialism, in other words, the attitude that those senior creditors possessed of the temerity to expect the terms of the debt instruments they hold to be honored or carried to the full extent possible in good faith, or to harbor the absurd fantasy that the proper forms of bankruptcy and pre-bankruptcy would be followed and the poor taste to express shock and surprise at being called out as the cause of Chrysler's bankruptcy from the bully pulpit and on national television by a President who knows damn well that he has to throw Chrysler into bankruptcy anyhow to restructure the company's burdensome dealer contracts and thereby keep Fiat from running with unfathomable haste away from the deal, these senior creditors- excuse me, greedy speculators- should just wait to be told what will be given them and then smile, pose for a publicity photograph with the Vice President and be on their way quickly and quietly so as not to disturb any other residents of the 20500 zip code." - Equity Private, May 4th
Yes, that was 1 sentence.
Flesch-Kincaid Readability Analysis (via the Mystery Matador) of the above:
"You overwhelmingly embrace obfuscation and don't want the reader to understand anything you have to say. Your writing lavishes a preponderance of dependent clauses and compound negatives upon the reader, whose cognitive load not infrequently exceeds the purported benefit of the substance of the article. Syntax incorporates numerous collections of items juxtaposed or in series that demand persistence and not a little unqualified expertise on the part of all intended recipients of the author's communications. In fact, such machinations inevitably prove detrimental to comprehension and sabotage the imparting of any and all knowledge. Your condition is irreversible.
Equity Private reflects the worst of the PE industry - an incredibly intelligent person focusing their talents on convincing others that they are the smarter than anyone else through the use of intellectual bullying."
