Some readers might think I should be offended that someone found a problem in
one of my ideas. On the contrary, I am delighted! This is the whole point here.
Let's talk about these things, and make our mistakes NOW, when it doesn't matter.
Let's hash it out! Let's come up with some wild new, out-of-the-box zingers!
You just know that these men are huddled in dark rooms wishing and hoping
that they can pull a fast one. They want secrecy and they thrive on it. That's
because they have some deep, dark secrets that they don't want to be known
and they don't want them to be brought up in a Q&A setting. Sede Catholic is
right on the money. Let's get ready for the task of reading between the lines.
If they come a-visiting and find that even 5% of the crowd is armed to the
teeth, it can't help but have an effect on what they have to say. Be ever-vigilant
to discover the real reason he's showing up at this time: what's he trying to
accomplish here?
Be ready for the smokescreen, for the "ack-ack." Watch out for conspicuous
drifting off topic by way of telling cute stories. I doubt that Fr. Rostand can be
as clever or as slick as +Fellay, but you know he's going to try. Be ready for it.
As I explained before, think proactively. Have several well-built men posted at
the exit doors so the speaker can't make a hasty escape. Someone should
guard the back door past the bathroom so he can't say, "I'll be right back," and
try to run off instead of using the loo. Be wise as serpents and gentle as doves.
