When I said that back there I meant it, glueman. I'm not being in any way smart or ironic, just according respect where respect is most surely due.

At least your mentor tries to waffle his way out of his foot-in-mouths.

I am not anyone's mentor, old man - and I grow increasingly weary of the association. Here we are individuals, we think for ourselves, even the sycophant Shimrod, gawd bless 'im! Here, I hope, there are no enemies, just a bunch of mates having a natter.
