Val,

I am deeply offended that you think I am too polite.

I obviously need to step my game up a notch or two. I wouldn't want to disappoint my team mates. I apologize for not carrying my weight!

How bout it, you guys on the right, do you think I've been too polite? Am I soft? Do you think I'm sweet? An easy target?

Well, if that's how it is, I'll just have to pull out my "A" game!
