To be fair to me, he could, at times, become a bona fide drone.
Is an 'I' not required before using the reflexive pronoun 'myself'? What is the rule governing when to use 'myself'?

If you are being fair, it's "myself". If somebody else is being fair, it's "me". – Peter Shor Mar 25 '24 at 12:00

Comparing 'Being fair to myself', where 'me' is unavailable (assuming one is using self-mitigation ... and I'd rephrase otherwise) adds support to Peter's statement. – Edwin Ashworth Mar 25 '24 at 12:49
