   *Waits one year to see how big of a disaster the gophers are at Unagi Con next year.

   Hmm. That seems a mistake on Jim’s part. Generally, you don’t want to leave the defeated an avenue to come right back to haunt you. If he could rustle up that kind of support, it’d seem he could just as easily oust her entirely.

     He doesn’t want her in charge of anything anymore to punish her. But at the same time he also doesn’t want to lose the invaluable skills she gives to Unagi Con.
     Look back at what he did with Garner when he was still the problem. (http://www.unconventional-comic.com/2017/06/basic-group-dynamics/)
     “I may have to subtly break apart any clique he’s started to form, and distract him with some task to keep him in check.”
     Jim may think he knows what he’s doing, because he’s been dealing with people like Garner for a decade. But I get the feeling that he doesn’t quite understand the depths of what he’s dealing with when trying to handle Lynn in the same way.

   Lynn has already made a mistake. Jim is not mad about the Nazi-punching.

   he’s mad about Lynn lying to his face.

     I still find this the least mature route to go in this instance.

     Its just as much work to come up with evidence and confront the individual about the fabrication. But because Jim is the way he is when it comes to confrontation, he has to handle it this way. Which I just don’t understand – its confrontation either way. Just confrontation he’s comfortable with.
