You were completely unable to avoid demonizing the British avatars in your

Now THERE is something you got out of this story all by yourself, Chris.

	Oh, really, lying descendant of convicts?

	"Destiny....  It is my destiny to destroy what remains of the
Empire.... the last vestiges of the colonial past."

	Explain that, then.  In fact, I challenge you.  Explain the whole
thing for me.  Explain your intentions, your desires, your *theme*, if you
will, for this piece of fiction.  If you can convince me of the sincerity
and fundamental benign nature of your intent, I shall forthwith apologize
for my comments.

	Until then, you're on my shit list, Ozzie freak.

On the same topic, these were his initial posts to me....

	I want you to be aware of something.

	I hate you.

	If I ever meet you in person, I will kill you.

	This is not a threat.  Please do not represent it as such.

	It is a fact.

Chris Davies.


And in response to my attemptedly humourous reply....

I've had friends and relatives suggesting looking into the legal situation,
here....  I'm not the sort to follow that kind of advice, and I don't want
to escalate this to ridiculous heights.  I'm just too tired to deal with
this person any more....
