The problem here is twofold. First, Lir agreed to be good once before, and then
didn't. (That's beyond the implicit agreement to be good that everyone who 
works
on a project like this, with defined goals, is making.)

Second, since this was a private discussion between Ed and Lir, I don't 
know what
"be good" means in this case. Ed, can you elaborate?
