Admirable thoughts. And though I’m not one to back off from bullies, I can easily do as you suggest. The problem with that, however, are the “bigger assholes” you refer to. They’ll simply keep coming and coming. So, an endless iteration of bullshit ensues.

Now, I don’t believe for a moment that Norm is stupid. However, until he takes the Innkeepers route (which the casino critter hordes gravitate to), and arbitrarily acts upon the cretins of condescension, the problems you allude to will continue.

I may be wrong, but I doubt it.
