There had been a general ramping up of disheartened rage over a number of months (call it 1 year). I'd been keeping an eye on it and I made allowances for the self confessed Sport injuries to the brain.
The concealed knife posts were the start of the 3 count. This isn't the place for that.
Given the wake up call and opportunity to dial it back a bit. Didn't fancy that, voted with feet.

I spent my entire adult life offshore worldwide, multi cultural working with and running crews of clever Alphas from every corner of the globe with every personality type up to and including functioning psychopaths. It was fucking great!

Rule 1: Don't be a dick.

No joke, that's the rules. The door is always open for those that walk away to come back but tbh the old ego thing tends to get in the way. They likely end up as offline ghosts flitting through just checking it out.
That's a pish way to live but their own call.
