June:

If on being re-born after a period of passivity and out of body 
living, I make the promise that any former fair-weather supporters 
who ratted on me are to be killed, I will make that an immediate 
priority rather than listening to their abject apologies and 
reinstating them into my evil cohorts - especially when I should 
know perfectly well that they are now offering comfort and aid to my 
mortal enemies...

I'll post this on this list, because I think everyone knows who I 
mean.
