I prefer to get things done, rather than sit in long discussions.
This sometimes comes across as abrupt or rude.  As a private citizen,
I'm entitled to make up my mind about things quickly, or decide when I
have heard too much on a topic.  As baron, I don't have that luxury.
As baron I have a responsibility to gather as much information and as
many opinions as possible, and would make every effort to do so.
