I'd like to point out to everyone here that while I'm not going to be elected Etiquette Director any time soon, trying to address the issue by calling me various names is not really going to make much headway, aside from being
massively hypocritical. Just pointing it out to prevent you from wasting your times.
And if you're all going to use this opportunity to make further commentary on my disposition, just know that I'm a bureaucrat who's been working for millennia dealing with politicians, power hungry despots (a perhaps redundant distinction) and trying to survive ascending the ranks of an organisation maintaining all of space and time against the tide of not only entropy but also various species who seem if not actually are fully dedicated to actively disrupting or destroying all of space and time.
It does nothing for a disposition that wasn't rosy to begin with.
And you can't handle someone who's a little brusk? Then I suggest you grow up. And I warn you: if you meet someone of my species who's the kind of 'polite' you're asking me to be, then I would suggest you try to remember - they're plotting to kill you. Without exception, in my experience.
I could recount the number of times, if you'd like.
[Rose]One thing the Doctor has never been accused of: excessive politeness.
