 * Dear Mr Tweedie**

You obviously have too much time on your hands, given that you feel the need to compose long, raving, illiterate diatribes against us. What a pity you are not engaging us in an adult fashion, to debate this issue in a considered, structured way. Instead, you resort to childish and defamatory insults which you insist on disseminating to everyone you know. (If you had any idea of the law of defamation, you would realise that you are digging a very big legal hole for yourself by doing this.)

Why don't you contact us directly - I would call you, but the Communist University evidently doesn't have a listed telephone number - so that we can debate and resolve our differences in a mature manner? In this way, we can in a non-hysterical, constructive way lay out to you how the Swaziland stories came about, and make it clear to you that while we have absolutely no problem with the Swazi pro-democracy movement and its supporters, we do take issue with the idea of military cadres being trained on sovereign South African soil.

It is now up to you to decide whether or not to continue taking the low road, or detour up to the high road and engage this issue properly with us. Note that this will be my only appeal to your better judgment, and I trust that you will accordingly take it seriously.
