Patti, I wasn't aware that the letter had anything derogatory to say about NGB, only mentioning that he was/is a "protector" of Jeremy which sounds to me as if the writer of the letter holds him in high esteem and is both a complimentary and female way of expressing things. As PH has already had some correspondence with one or two members here I imagine he would be capable of working through a reasonable process of elimination and coming up with a fairly satisfactory conclusion.
The description of me had sinister overtones, as summarised I think fairly by the journalist by the use of the word "protector". It is clear to me that it was designed to tie me in with the threat. This was not in my view written by someone who holds me in high esteem, rather it was by someone who wants to cause me harm. I would like to read the letter although I doubt if that will happen, but I can say that the style of the parts read to me was not the style I would associate with the person indirectly implicated in the article. The "dodging a bullet" reference is also one I find significant.
