        I'll also have to remind myself in the future
that if ever I get into trouble, and need help, in the outback
of this country lets hope that I do not bang too hard on the
wrong door of a farmhouse, appear too unshaven to be a
legitimate caller, or maybe just drive the wrong type of car
into the farmyard.  After all it may be one of you guys inside
with your guns ready just waiting to demonstrate your right
to what you can later call self defence.

        Man, Neil, you really are confrontational!
        Been there, done that . . .

        Okay, look: First, this whole matter started with
Tony Martin putting the kibosh on some burglars.
        Then he got into a real pickle with the police,
because one of his attackers (you _are_ an attacker if you
break and enter under cover of darkness) was a relative minor.
        And Martin did shoot at some thieves on his property
who - according to him - were trying to attack (run-over) his
dogs. I discussed this in a private reply to you, that I got a day
before your same e-mail arrived at Cybershooters.
        Well, okay. He had his FAC lifted. Maybe the cops
didn't like the idea that he got to do some real shooting, and
all they got to do is hear about it.

        But, Neil, for your to go off into left field (or maybe
even right) and make the comments that if you are ever
stranded in deepest, darkest England (or Wales, or Scotland)
that you will become peppered with lead shot, merely for asking
for assistance?
        Well, I suppose if you were to demand it in no uncertain
terms . . .
        Get real, man!
        You are accusing your fellows of the worst, and you know
not one of them to be even one thousandth willing to cast aside
his better upbringing, merely to rend another human.
        Your comments assume the worst of everyone, without
even the benefit of the doubt. How dare you?
        Really, how dare you?
