I am sorry that you do not accept our legal rules and that you are vulnerable 
for FUD from a single person (in this case Eduard Bloch).

The fact that other people have also become a victim of attacks from this 
person does not count as Bloch never has been able to show a confirmation for 
his attacks. 

Unless you start following common rules, it seems that you just like to play a
game with me. It does not seem to bring us anywhere and replying to future mail 
from you looks like wasted time unless you accept to follow common legal rules.
