Quote:Better?
Not really. It's still somebody in a position of power (that'd be Ben the badass SMOF with his own private army) using the threat of force against a target that can't actually hurt him. It's still bullying, and it's still ugly. Now, if that's where you want to take the character then okay, we can go there. I'm not going to say a word against it. Just remember that there will be repercussions on Ben - he doesn't get away clean.
