I am like a mama bear with her cub when it comes to Peter. A few years ago, he was part of this computer users group thing, and arranged for the Red Hat Road Tour to make a stop at our university (SIUE). He made all the arrangements and the event was a success. Peter is such a nice guy that he let someone take credit for the event, and that REALLY pisses me off!!! He did the work, he made the arrangements, and it was HIS idea! All it would take to make Peter happy would be a “good work”; instead, he has to deal with someone else taking credit for his work. Someone who really should know better and should have a stronger code of ethics. Someone who claimed to like Peter and seemed to think of him as somewhat of a friend. Strange, that is… *removes the knife from Peter’s back*

My husband conceived of the idea and planned it out. The day of, someone else took credit for arranging it and for the event’s success. Shameful, really. If the event had not been such a success, I’m betting that this particular person would have distanced themselves from the event.

Peter is insanely talented, respectful, and a much too kind to object to this nonsense, but fortunately, I lack the necessary social decorum. There are a few things which are unforgiveable in this world, number one being doing anything to slight Peter. I would amputate my limbs, if necessary, to protect him. Remember that I would gladly amputate yours as well, if it came to that. Peter is a better person than you are (and he’s talented). Fact.
