Let's explore this then, because I don't see why I should feel intimidated
by how someone might respond to a challenge to do more.  Here is how my
original email in this thread described Hagar's "behavior":


    "Other citizens might see the trash but instead of tackling the problem
    themselves, ask another park visitor to clean it up.  Not a bad thing
    to do, but a little bit imposing on the other visitors of the park.
    Those people might wonder about why the original citizen did not clean
    up the trash themselves, but occasionally you come across citizens
    who are happy to just honor the unusual request without issue."


I fail to see how describing Hagar's behavior as "not a bad thing to do"
should trigger a drastic action from Hagar like resigning his responsibilities
from this project.  He seems to be reading far more into what I've written,
and no this thread wasn't meant to be primarily about him at all.
