Guy I know from home is here, got his head ripped off. I figured that much out for myself. Doesn't make it any less important for those of us with jobs to do.

[ As for antagonising everyone-- ]

And how's that working out for you? You've got a bunch of kois in your fishpond who nibble at the edges but are too afraid to go beyond their limits, and so far what have you got to show for it? You're terrified, thanks to whatever the hell's been happening on board between jumps, you're afraid to stray from the marked path, never go anywhere alone if you can avoid it, and hardly any of you have seen the Captain. If your nice guys aren't working out for you, then get an orca and throw yourself outta the water to see what's really happening, because what you've got so far is making ripples when you oughta be making waves.

Listen, I do what I have to do to get things done. I don't sit on my hands and keep my voice down and play nice. A good politician has gotta be ready to put everything on the line and shake things up, and shaking things up is what Petrellis do best. It grates a lot of people the wrong way, but a little dented pride ain't gonna kill them.
