Hi Joy,

Always a pleasure. No, of course I'm not saying that your cult or your cult leader literally beat John up but they sure as hell did figuratively, didn't they? But then you know that - you're just pretending to be obtuse. Tell me, do you think John's apology was good enough? Will the cult call off the dogs? Will it stop the break-ins and intimidation that, in John's own words, makes him fear for his friends? Will John's offer of his parents' money suffice? Would you be willing to pitch in a little bit if that's what it takes?
