When I started Circle Versus Square I knew there would be people who wouldn't like it. One of those people has become very vocal.
Mr. Z has taken offense to my webcomic and has threatened me with legal action for various reasons. I do not intend to respond to his threats directly, but I am nonetheless under the impression that he will keep sending them anyways.
In order to reveal him for the fool he is I have decided to publish his emails (without permission) for your consumption. They are archived below for your convenience.
Enjoy,- Wakcher
