Sir, with pleasure, sir.

In taking action which has not been called for by others; which has been
objected to by many; continuing to cancel in the face of reasoned
opposition from a number of otherwise temperate and moderate regulars (*);
and justifying your actions by essentially saying "because I can."

It's not your debating habits I object to Wayne - I think they're kind of
cute - it's your arrogant assumption of right in the face of a pile of
evidence. At the least you might pause to consider why you've stirred up
such public opposition.
