Emailed him shortly after this comment.
Someone? Who are we going to choose?
You needn't; I just did.

Mr. Gackle isn't really all that frightening, you know. There's no need to fear talking with him.

In fact he's the opposite of frightening.
True, but it's rude to call that out, not to mention rather more arrogant than wise. These are trepidatory times, and like many, his job is not at all secure. In his shoes I'd be frightened too, and he displays reasonable grace in spite of it; I have done less well at times.
First time something I've posted here has been characterized as rude; I will try to do better in the future.
Honesty requires I note that I had badly mischaracterized my man, far more in his favor than anything of which he has proven deserving.

On that note please excuse my use of a shared account, as I finish wrapping up my affairs on this benighted website; Mr. Gackle has proven after all very inclined to behave in a precipitous and spiteful manner, and not nearly so evenhanded as I had previously seen cause to confide.

Assuming this comment survives to be read, I would counsel those continuing to use this website to conduct themselves accordingly and with all due care. Not my kind of problem any more, thank God: I work in a grocery store these days. Imagine that! It's like a gym membership that pays me.
