I thought that "You really must have it in for me" (and similiar
phrases) didn't actually mean that I think you hate me, but that
you've done something or are proposing something with bad
consequences, which you may or may not realize.

A proposal for a rules change can always be put forward.  However,
I think such a proposal ought to address the point I made previously,
that it rewards rule-breaking -- actually, it annuls the rules.

A room full of kingdom people telling a Society officer what to do?
I wish I'd been there.  I wish I'd sold tickets.

No, come to think of it, Francois was doubtless as polite as Da'ud
would have been in such circumstances.
