Hoi, No need to drop dead. What I want you to take is more positive role, I said as much.. I want you to try the role of an elder statesman.. Their influence is because of their positive comments and their insight and help move things forward smoothly.
You may try to assume you had a humble role by depicting yourself as "only" an unpaid volunteer. it does not help. It does not convince and it does not make your remarks helpful or pleasant or bring about a cooperative spirit. Thanks, GerardM

I am not going to go away and die because you keep saying I should drop dead. This may be a Dutch proverb, in my eyes it is highly offensive and appears deliberately intended to be so here.
