dear scratch team, one wonders if you are merely acting in a most unbecoming manner, driven by motives of sheer self-preservation? To maintain a state of tranquil domesticity, to avoid, quite literally, a spot of drama, thereby averting the necessity of untold reports for, no doubt, your colleagues to peruse, and obviating the unpleasantness of recalling certain projects due to your propensity for, shall we say, 'silencing' the, ahem, complaining party? Good heavens, how utterly, distressingly... lamentable. Really, all of you are quite despicable.
