gadfly

1. A persistent irritating critic; a nuisance.
2. One that acts as a provocative stimulus; a goad.
3. Any of various flies, especially of the family Tabanidae, that bite or annoy livestock and other animals.

I've been called a gadfly again; and I don't like it.

I feel they same about it as when the lawyers of Modrall refer to their victims as "disgruntled former employees".

There is nothing that I have done or stand for that warrants trivialization.

I am standing up for the principle that public servants are accountable to the public by means of honest and transparent accountability to a meaningful standard of conduct, by a system over which they have no control; and even against their will.

and if that makes me a gadfly; then so be it.
