Look. It's been suggested to me that I "play nice" while I'm here.

Consider this a warning. I will continue being... grumpy, [he folds his arms] as is my prerogative, and will willingly accept whatever risks are supposedly involved in avoiding contact.

You will not touch me, or you will suffer the consequences.

Mark my words, I do not make idle threats.

[Sounds like someone needs to sign a bunch of waivers before getting to hug this guy. Waivers and making certain one's insurance is up to date.]
