Christofire said: [QUOTE] No, I don't mean threatening Porl, I mean the threat itself. If you're going to off somebody, wouldn't you want them to know who and why, so as to "get your own back" or "teach them a lesson"?[/QUOTE] Fear of the unknown assailant... Much better to have someone frightened to go out for years than for them just to be worried for a few days. Porl hasn't left his house for over a year now.
