Knobhead : "I am not a wimp!"

Knobhead has angrily denied accusations by The Orchid's supporters that he is a wet liberal wimp who will take the DDS down the path of diversity awareness workshops and health & safety assessments. "I am not a wimp!" he roared at a rally on Solaris, "I was Horsehead's deputy for years, no wimp could survive that!"

"My DDS will be more thoughtful and considered. We will not go blundering off on some macho ego-quest like The Orchid intends to do. We will consider our options and act from a position of informed knowledge."

The Orchid seized on these comments and declared Knobhead a ditherer. "My DDS will be ruled by the heart, the heart of a warrior, the heart of passion not dry statistics and analysis."
