Spaw, I hope you don't think he actually wants a resolution! It's fairly obvious to me that he sabotages any possibility of amicablility by switching to different bait when whatever he's using goes stale.

Having met Max and knowing him just a bit, I figure if he reads Shambles' comlaints at all (or when they were fresh - sometime last century) he shrugs and thinks, "Oh well. Tough shit."

Then again, he might have given Roger a "Fuck off" response to PMs (he's done that before and I think Roger is capable of being way more of a PIA than Jon) and this is his method of retaliation.

I don't think it's working, unless the shifting whine is only intended to keep Shambles in the spotlight. We seem to be helping him become who he's destined to be. It's nice this little community is so willing, but you know what they say: "It takes a village..."
