I do agree on how he was being a little pusillanimous individual and how he wasn't agreeing on most things. You just really needed to know what he wanted, but some people ignored it and went on with the jokes or didn't apply the declined offers of help to make a better one. You guys got him into a big mess he didn't need to get into. Sure we could have tough'ned him up a bit if you really wanted to push on what he declined, but it would have wasted your time.
