(Continue to Ignore him) ".....where was I? Ah yes. It is my belief that this plan will bring great returns..."
(Two other people at the meeting are now saying something to each other. Rickles is supressing a smile as is the person next to him. The marketing director seems to be packing up his notes)
RICKLES: I guess there may be some merit in his proposal. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. (Hah, ha, ha)
(At this point in time the meeting has totally degenerated into chaos. No one is paying attention anymore.)
YOU: Excuse me, R&R , but you told me to ignore him twice! What gives!?
R&R: Well, you messed up ....... You trusted us! (Haha!)
Actually, we wanted you to be crystal clear that ignoring Snipers doesn't work. People can only pay attention to about 7 things at once. Even if you can ignore the Sniper emotionally, that doesn't mean that those around you will be similarly unaffected. There's no way around it. You must deal with the Sniper! So breathe deeply...that's right. Now get back in there and show no mercy.
