Is that too much to ask?

Coming from you, Rubrick, no.

You are obviously not a member of the "pack".

And you understand the power of sweet reason as an alternative to insults, threats and bullying.

Everything you recommend to me, I recommend in turn to the "pack".

There should not be one standard for a vulnerable "Stranger" or respectful dissenting individual of non-Carpal stature, and another standard for insider Carpals.

There should be one standard for all, period, and you have just made of yourself a worthy example -- and not just for me.

The one voice I cannot resist is the voice of reason.
