	I promised you I'd mail you back.  Like it or not, here you go.

	I'm not sure if I've said "no" to you yet, so I'll say it now -
no, I will not remove your page just because you're threatening me with
lawsuits and other legal harassment.  I do not take kindly to threats, 
especially not during already high-stress periods of my life; even if I
had been inclined in the first place to agree with you, your actions would 
have reaffirmed my desire to keep the page up and running.  

	In addition: I do have a running list up of threats and other 
harassing behaviors that have been directed at me because of my Usenet and
web activities.  I have not updated it for several months, due to a lack
of time; with the impending end of the semester, however, this isn't going
to be as much of a problem.  A page describing your actions will be added 
to the collection, updated in the future as necessary.  This is not
unusual on my part - as I said on the phone, I keep records of my Usenet
affairs.  

	To make things clear, I don't mean either of the above paragraphs
as threats - those are just the actions I'm planning on taking if all else
goes well.  Ideally, I'd like to be able to forget that this ever happened
leaving this at the historical fact that yes, you were killfiled and you 
threatened me over the resulting page.  If I can forget the meetings you
forced me into, the wasted time, the possible lowering of a few of my 
grades and the rest of the stress your actions caused, I'd love to do so.

	But I'm not going to be able to forget that stuff until this is
actually over.  And I'm also not going to be bullied.  I'm more than
willing to compromise over this, but not at the expense of the truth.

	So, do you want to stop threatening me now?
