If he wants to cut off the series, fine. Personal reservations aside, he's totally free to do that, and I certainly can't stop him. Again, though, that's not what I was hitting at here; and all my attempts to clarify what I am hitting at only seem to raise the village mob against me.
But this discussion is going nowhere, and I'm not in the market for enemies, so I'm calling it quits. Truce, parley, whatever you want to call it.
