Q9. I am a slayer - I will destroy all you degenerates.

This is a genuine email exchange from an American with aol as service provider;

> Come, get me I am a vampire hunter and you mother fuckin vamps will die

-----------------------------------------------ooh, we are frightened! too much tv again? --

> ok meet me here tommorrow [a misspelt address in the good old U.S.A given here] and we will fight for you vamps deserve to die

----------------------------------------------Hi there ol' xx, I do wonder how seriously I should take someone who cannot spell their own address - how old are you? fifteen? Hold on, I have just realised you are a North American. You may be excused your crass gullibility, then. Maybe a few words for you to look up there.

> why don`t you face me you to scared

-----------------------------------------------Actually, we couldn't get the bus fare together for that meeting, - why don't you just concentrate on getting your teacher to check your spelling before you mouth off next time? --

> when can you get the bus fare ,when you do come so I can kick your ass

-----------------------------------------------Why do you want to be so vicious to my donkey?

> I don`t have a probelm with your "donkey" I got a probelm with you blood sucker

----------------------------------------------- I see you are still having problems with your grasp of spelling - you know it would help if you practised more on crosswords or "scrabble". Anyway, you have a problem with us - what is that exactly?

> you are bloodsuckers you kill to live

----------------------------------------------- Time to get real I think. I believe that you are having trouble telling the difference between reality and fantasy. None of us think we are real "vampires" who kill to live, as you say. We are merely creating a fictional environment in which we can live out parts of our imaginations. When you say you are a "slayer" I believed that you were doing the same, i.e. acting out a chosen role. There's nothing wrong with that so long as you understand the limits of your role-play, and I did feel that we were both indulging on some boisterous banter and just for fun. However, there are things which make me not so certain. None of us actually kills to drink blood, and to my knowledge we would all agree that drinking blood is just trite and obvious. So for your enlightenment, if you are going to accuse us of killing you need to come up with your evidence. I am sure your server, AOL, which takes a high moral stand on what goes through its computer would not like to get involved in libel actions.................. Are you having a laugh or what? --
