Royston, DeG, Vectis: I put specific questions to each of you; you have all replied dismissively to me WITHOUT ADDRESSING THESE QUESTIONS.

DeG, you used the word 'provocative', & Royston you declared you agreed with DeG. So I asked you how far you would regard *provocation* as a mitigating factor, as in law, as you know, it CAN be regarded in certain cases. You did not answer this question. Please do so if you wish me to take your answers as in any way complete or to be respected.

Vectis, the same applies to you with regard to my direct question as to what you would regard as an appropriate response to a woman who had irresponsibly led a man on only to let him down at the last moment. I agreed with you that violence was not justified, but made one or two suggestions as to what might be. What do YOU think, I ask again, might be acceptable or permissible responses? May I have an answer to this perfectly explicit question, please?
