The major weapon about enforcers is *not* wanting to argue.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>A tongue in cheek description of why replying in this direction isn't helpful: <a href="http://www.derailingfordummies.com/">http://www.derailingfordummies.com/</a></div><div> <span style="line-height:1.5"> </span></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
For instance, you thought Joachim was joking, I didn't. If he was<br>
joking, that would have been very bad taste. If he was not, that would<br>
