One person's idiosyncrasy is another's peccadillo, though it's worth noting that Dr. Appleby habitually uses his academic title in each of his voicemails, much as you insist on mimicking your screen name for its signature harrumph effect, so . . . golly, not seeing a whole lot of distinction with a difference here . . . except, of course, once one extracts his overt threatening behavior as compared with the passive-aggressive bullying and drone-like recitation of the obvious. Good thing the latter doesn't come with a Lane County booking number, huh?
At any rate, I find his restaurant's appetizers to be delish.
