You're probably right - but how does it differ, then, in any way from what
you did in the first place?  Michael will insist it _wasn't_ meant as an
insult, but you and many others will read it that way.  That's the same
problem I had with your original post.

In any case, Miravlix will need to understand his country's laws on slander
before he attempts to take anybody to court - it's not generally a slander
to present hypothetical approaches to a problem, however much they may be
thinly veiled attacks.  That is, after all, the basis of satirical comedy.
