Sorry Tourist but I disagree! I was considerate/accessible both ways, up and down, but never allowed that to get in the way of what I was there to do. It's a total myth that anyone commissioned from the ranks can't lose sight of where he came from and fears losing popularity. I never, ever considered popularity as a reason for doing whatever had to be done.
