Now I know before I have pointed out the cowardly nature of how your species operates and how for the most part I am prepared to overlook it as it does not concern me, however there is one particular issue that has been becoming far too common recently which apparently needs to be addressed, this issue is people "running to mommy" when they have problems with me. Now I don't mean a biological mother, or any sort of family sense per se, I mean when you have an issue or a problem, you run to someone who you feel has some sort of authority or power over me and expect them to address the problem for you.

Perhaps this would be a reasonable action on a persons part, if they had already tried to discuss with me whatever it was that they felt was a problem, if they had talked to me and I had rejected their concerns out of hand then maybe it is reasonable to go further up the chain? But why immediatly run like a spoilt brat to someone else before even talking to me about it? Maybe people are genuinly this afraid of me that they fear the confrontation that could occur? Thus they feel they can mitigate the risk by getting someone else to confront me. I doubt this is it and that (as I suggested above) the problem is general cowardice, you are afraid to talk to me about it because you're a whiny, snivilling little ***** who would rather stand behind mommy and have her do your dirty work for you.

As you may have gathered at this stage, I am not overly impressed with this particular path that people seem to choose to deal with their issues. Might I perhaps suggest to these people an alternative approach? Grow a pair and talk to me about whatever wrong you have perceived, possibly this will get you a better result. Generally speaking if you have some sort of valid concern and/or complaint then I will more than likely hear you out and maybe even offer some sort of solution to whatever it is that troubles you.

Let me explain to you what happens when you choose the path of the coward and run to someone else to do the dirty work for you. The first thing is that, even if you try to hide it, I *will* find out who you are, even if you try and sneak around in the shadows and not reveal who you are that is afraid to face me, I will find you and this pretty much kills off any chance of you getting any long term benefit from this situation. The second and more immediate result is that whatever complaint you may have had will now automatically be rejected and mocked until you realise just how stupid your actions have been. Generally speaking I hear that neither of these tend to be the result people are looking for from their actions, so maybe think about it before you do it?

To summarise then: You come talk to me about whatever your problem is, maybe you'll get a good response, maybe you won't, if you don't like the response you get *then* you can go talk to some perceived authority figure about it and you will suffer no wrath for this (unless of course you've got some completely BS complaint to begin with and you're just stirring the pot.) You choose to skip me and go talk to someone else first, you will not get your own way in this situation and you will probably never get your own way in any disagreement with me ever again. So really, think before you act and perhaps things can work out better for everyone?
