"I will be interested to see whether anybody comes forward to lay out the case, as you have requested."

I recommend against that.

"I would be interested in reading it myself."

I think we all would. If, in fact, there is a case it should be brought forth by Poet's official advocacy, where, when, and if they so choose.

"E, principally, has been telling me for a while that Poet is afraid of me, but I can't see on what basis that could be true."

My limited understanding of such things (which, I have broadly explained previously)is that there is no obligation for you to understand the basis for the "fear" if that is even the one and only basis for her position. It is enough that someone, anyone, whom you have no rights over and no official obligation to attend to, has told you that they want your attentions toward them stopped. I can personally think of several that would seem to qualify but I do not know if any of those are the base on which Poet is complaining.

Well, that is part of my problem. It is a long way from Mercer Island to eastern Connecticut, and I am having trouble seeing how you would appear frightening. Similarly, I am not at all certain what the flap with Jeff is about. "Fear of lawsuit" doesn't seem to me to cut it. I know other people who have mentioned the possibility of litigation, and it did not save them from discipline..........
