Philippa,

  I have a proposal for you; if you don't lie about or malinger me or my
friends, then I won't say anything to or about you no matter how
documentably true.

  The fact that I am one of the great horde of Those Who Dislike You
doesn't faze me one bit.  It apparently bothers you enough to tell my
college technical services that I am stalking you.

  I have done my best to avoid you, to not think of you, to not think of
the trouble you have actively tried to cause for me and for my friends.
I would appreciate if you make some effort to do the same.

  One final word, if you so much as touch me at Pennsic, I will file
assault charges.

-M

(I'm sorry for having to trouble SCA Cooks with this, but I'm really
tired of this.)
