It beggars belief that your attitude towards Joe Offer is so schizophrenic that you use his remarks to back up some of your points, while using other remarks of his to castigate him as an advocate of something you disagree with.
Now if I was in Joe's position I would have ignored you, because whatever he says he can't win, (not that any of us can), and as the person in Loco Parentis for Max his words carry more weight.
We're all lucky he's so tolerant I suppose, or quite a few of us would be inhabiting the outer darkness where the light of the Cat don't reach.
That in a way is why I get cross with your constant whining against a man who spent so many years working for an organisation one of who's mantras is 'Turn the other cheek' that he's gotten that way himself.
He's doing a good job on the whole, and I for one wish you'd stop picking on him.
