[lifts his hands]

Same MO, same situation you described, but what you're getting at with that is I'm supposed to... what? Just accept what they say and do? Not get angry? Be the bigger man since I have emotional competence advantage and just shrug it off and call their bluff?

I can't always be the emotionally competent one, Maki. Sometimes I'm the one who's wanting to bust people's faces in to get back even an ounce of control.
