I'm sorry to those readers that got angry; I would like to apologize to those thinking I advocate physical violence, of any kind. As a story device, this is as bad as it gets. It's pretty bad indeed, and in this current day and age (it's abhorrent in all ages, to my mind) a surefire jail-sentence or at least a trip to the police. I've re-read the story up to here, and I might actually have to rewrite some of this, and two or three other chapters, to tone it down. I wrote much of this years ago, and did not think. No excuse, of course. I don't wish to alienate anyone from here and possibly stop reading. It actually does get much more pleasant after this and I hope that one day soon, I may see those readers again.
I personally address those who reacted with an angry icon and sincerely apologize if it gave offense. I shall do better: @Buz @Dr. John NYC, @Netvoyager , @mogwhy and @craigster3999
