Apparently I don't talk enough.

[xp_cyclops]

[I wasn't going to make this public. I started to, and then I stopped, and tried to let cooler heads prevail. It didn't work.]

I'm not one for idle conversation.

I'm also not a person who speaks when they don't have all the information, and aren't sure of the situation.

Apparently, to some people at this school, this is the equivalent of treating them like children.

I guess I have been keeping secrets then, simply because I haven't been talking. I haven't been speaking up first.

I hereby apologize to each and every person at this school for my behavior.

I am not social. I am not a people person. Logan once said I was a dick. He wasn't wrong.

However, in an attempt to mend fences and in the interest of not alienating students any MORE, I hereby offer to answer any question put to me as honestly and truthfully as I am able. And tell you if I am not able to answer that. Even why, if I can.

It's a step. A step toward opening up. Toward not treating you like children.

Take it.

That's not what I said. I don't know what you heard or where you heard it, but my offer was just to take anyone who wants to the shooting range and give them a few lessons. Mr. Summers knows about it, and agrees as long as there aren't any unsecured guns lying round the house. Which there won't be - or not 'cause of me, anyway.

That's right, because there won't be ANY guns fired in this house. I know there's some folks who go out to the old archery range out back to shoot rifles, Doctor MacTaggart's in charge of that.

And if a kid like you thinks he's going to be teaching the other children how to "defend" themselves by shooting people, maybe you ought to discuss it with the Professor and not his sidekick, you think?

I never intended to have the lessons in the house. I'll be discussing it with Dr. MacTaggart and the Professor both, real soon.

Anyway, shooting lessons was only part of what I offered - not everybody wants to learn to use a gun. I'm willing to teach people any of what I know.

And before you go calling me a kid, try bothering to find out something about me.
