And if any *rational adult* wants to examine my ordination certificate, I will be happy to provide it.

I realize this may matter little in the, uh, wider context of things going
on right nowor actually, it probably fits right in!but last night some
stuff happened that I think was most Unexcellent & made me regret
belittling the concerns voiced by others in previous threads I can't think
of the names of right now.

Dan & Mik got in a fight & took it outside. According to Dan, Mik pulled a
knife (or box cutter) & made a comment along the lines of "you seem like
the kinda guy who'd bring a gun to a knife fight." This is Dan Freeman,

assorted psychobabblethough he is notably able to contain himself when
necessary, for instance at the meeting last night (indicating he's clearly
not as "insane" as he pretends to be). Prior to this blowup, I'd noticed
both of these two careening out of control. The night before (Monday) Mik
bitched at me for taking out the bins early & replacing them with temp
compost & recycling bins to hold their place while the regular bins were
downstairs which I'd labeled as such (10 mins before another person had
thanked me for doing the same thing), then proceeded to angrily wash all
the dishes in the kitchen with such an aura of hostility radiating from him
that no one e
