Duel  

From the Canadian Oxford dictionary:
Duel is a private fight bewtween two people pre-arranged and fought with deadly weapons in the presence of two seconds to settle a point of honor. The deviations from this definition such as many against one, stronger against weaker, armed against disarmed, and so on are called bulling, mobbing, and/or war.
I thank all contributors to this collage.

Please, could anybody (businesses, partners, etc.) help HRM to repair the one-year-open wall in my apartment? The wall was cut open in May 2022, broken pipe fixed, 3 (!) openings taped and left as is.
To the best of my knowledge the present contractor for repairs is WinMar. Thank you in advance!
Good news: in June 23, 2023 the repairs were finished. Thank you.

UPDATE  

It seems that courage and honesty ARE NOT the features of harassing and mobbing "team". This time you play "hunger games", dear participants? Any good ideas about human or academic ethics?
