Retirement is a Lie

First, I would just like to say that I hate all of you. I hope you and your alliance die in a lake of fire that I personally ignite and that is only quenched by your incessant tears. That's right. I'm talking about you.
That felt pretty good.
You see, the best thing about retirement is that one is free to say whatever the hell one wants while always being able to fall back on the "My opinion - not my alliance's" defense. The worst thing about retirement happens when someone notices this and says, "Hmmm....how are we going to rein this guy in a little?"
In RL, the easiest way to turn a radical into a conservative (or a loudmouth into a conciliator) is to put him in charge of something. Now....in CN terms, what would be the simplest, most effective way to ensure that a similar individual plays nice with everybody else?
While you're mulling that over, I suppose I should mention that, effective immediately, my opinion does in fact represent the government of Nordreich, and I must therefore re-learn how to bite my tongue.
Now, if some lovely, young, shapely CNer would like to bite my tongue for me -- you know, to get me started -- then that would be....what? I have to tone that down, too? Oh, c'mon!
