It's especially troubling to see this type of behavior coming from mentors.

Never claimed anyone should be feared, just that if they think they should be, they aren't.

As far as the beyond the nose comment, it's a reiteration of the decision makers being unable to anticipate a nontrivial level of detractors at best, and not really caring at worst. It's a flash of ineloquence on a good day and really unnecessary on a bad one, but it's nothing that hasn't already been hashed out enough already. A lot of things that have happened regarding the championsplit have been pretty unprofessional and they don't start and end at post 113 in this thread.

I'm not even stamping my feet, I've already accepted the fate.
