We should take this to another thread. We are hijacking JP's thread.
That said... I think your problem is with me, and not with what I am saying/doing.
If Calvin, or Mike, or Vince or CagIV had said the same thing that I have said, you would not have taken it as some sort of ominous warning.
You would have taken it for exactly what it is. A statement of fact. A "wave of the wand".
After all, if I am the guy with the wand, what am I supposed to be doing ? Just sitting there with my elbows on the podium, watching the orchestra do whatever the hell it pleases ?
Dude. All I am doing is not.... allowing people to get away with murder and then correcting them after they get really bad. (I made that mistake in the original tavern thread, here at QT. I am not going to make that mistake again.)
It is you who are interpreting it to be some kind of evil iron fisted flouting of power.
That is your own problem.
And I hope you stick around. I really do.
