I understand many of you are pissed off with our cajun streetrat.  You need to know the following things about Remy LeBeau:

If you should encounter him, run away.  Don't stop to talk, for any reason.  Don't call for backup and keep an eye on him until it arrives.  Just plain run.  You can call for backup when you're sure there's a couple of miles between you and him.  This applies to everyone, and should be considered a directive from god - I don't care whether you like him or hate him, you run away from him as soon as you see him whatever else is going on aroud you.

If I should discover that anyone has *not* done this, and by some miracle they survive the experience, they can look forward to being locked in a cupboard for their own saftey until I judge that they have learned how to pay attention, and I'll deal with the human rights lawyers later.

I'll explain why when we've had a chance to try and sort some of this mess out.  But for now, and for your own safety, stay well away from him.

You make no sense to me.

You give people the respect they ask for. I call Alison by her first name because she is okay with that. If she was not, I would call her Ms. Blaire.

I call Mr. Summers by his last name because that is what he is comfortable with. I think. He has never said otherwise, and so I use the general social default. What most people like, not what ever I decide is respectful.

Being quite and polite is not putting on a front! It is doing what is safest until you either know someone will accept something else, or until it becomes necessary to do otherwise.

For you it may not be putting on a front. For me it is. Completely different personalities, Dude. And since they haven't protested except for Mr Marko. (And well, not a lot of respect on either side there, really.) then I'll continue to call them what I do till they say otherwise.

If they had a problem with it, I'd expect them to tell me. It's really that simple.

That doesn't mean I expect other people to act like I do. Or that I think that they're wrong for acting polite, what have you. But it's not my way. Am I making sense here? It's just different ways of doing things is all.

Mr. Marko is going to get my respect until such a time as he -stops- protecting us from imp-cockroach infestations. Cranky or not, he is large, scary and ... cranky, but does not seem to hesitate to use that to help keep us safe.

You make sense, or else I spent too much time last night with that wall. I just.. cannot comprehend doing that myself.

*nods*

Marko has protected us, I'll give him that. I think it has more to do with the complete lack of respect he shows me. It's hard to treat anyone without contempt when they're going out of the way to call you a spoilt brat. Not saying I can't be on occasion but he's never made an attempt to get to know me before he just wrote me off completely. Other people could probably say that no one really has to get to know anyone else but it's still a good idea.

It's something I learnt all recent like. Getting your ass kicked has a tendancy to make you take stock, I guess.
