79	** He's mean but doesn't mean to be, causing grief for everyone.
80	** Report Sith is a pretty shitty person, but more than that he is a pathetic, miserable wretch of a man. One who runs from his problems and lashes out at everyone.

81	** Report Sith [[TooDumbToLive pisses off the wrong person]] [[KarmicDeath and gets killed for it]]. He may have prevented it from happening had he been willing to apologize (or ''pretend'' to apologize) when given the chance, but his stubbornness superseded his survival instinct.
