That's part of the problem for Druff, tho. These unnamed psychos happen to be real live people, and I bet more than a few people can guess a couple of them. We can say "tough look," and it is, but that doesn't make it any less real.
I think I can say with a lot of confidence that the radio silence was Druff not finding a clean option that solves the issue and made everyone happy, including himself. Not for a lack of trying or thinking, tho.
