Why = contractual agreement with his employer. He may have been "raised" 
in the wiki culture, he has obligations as staff.

Give Philippe a break MZMcBride. You are obviously unhappy and there are 
reasons for that; But giving Philippe the bad ride is not the way to go. 
Take a break, drink a tea, grab chocolate, watch a movie, have a walk. 
Anything. It is Sunday anyway.
