(...) Yeah, I wasn't really happy with either of those two phrases. For "pull rank" I just meant that TLC will not hesitate to execute actions required for their business, and depending on how they do that, it can be pretty unpleasant for the rest (...)

Oh, Todd, don't get into THAT argument again ;-) You deleted articles. That's censorship to any sane individual.
