A person whose wisdom I respect just shared this with me: "it ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to."
He's right.
There's no longer a battle or war, as I should've noticed about an hour or so ago, if not sooner. Others have voted with their feet, and now it's time for me to do the same. Those who want to continue doing battle with spectres, have at it.
Peace, out.
