Did anyone ever notice that Jan's panorama shots were taken with a "Noblex" camera?

I'll start with his parting comment. He says "Noblex Oblige". Ignoring his misspelling, the French phrase Noblesse Oblige literally means "nobility obliges". It is the concept that nobility extends beyond mere entitlements and requires the person with such status to fulfil social responsibilities, particularly in leadership roles. I understand the concept, but apparently Jan Faul does not. Perhaps he thinks it implies that nobility deserves obligations from others. At least, his report of his many accomplishments that he continues to display implies that others are obliged to pay homage to him and to never criticize his work.
So simply, the "case" is closed. He has the motivation and the misunderstood concept to back him up, so he behaves accordingly. The more compassionate among us might wonder from where this behavior derives, but that might be studied by others. For me, my advice, when such outbursts occur, is to ignore the outbursts. Let him throw insults at the slightest whim. What does it really mean? -- what damage does it cause? With a slight shift of the words of Ronald Reagan, "There he goes again."
