&lt;br&gt;
I am upset that you have chosen to take my letter of support as a mockery.  &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Of all the people in this world I expected to understand my ordeal, I expected that person to be you.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
After 24 years of mining spices and having no one to talk to about it upon my return I became somewhat disillusioned with life but when I read the gripping account of your own experiences in the Metro newspaper I felt I had found a kindred spirit with whom I could share my experiences.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
But alas, I am again alone on this rock we call Earth, (Interesting side note, the Kraktackens call our planet Steve.  Just thought you’d like to know…)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, I’m sorry if you felt that I was being sarcastic with my letter, I can assure you that that was definitely not my intention.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I wish you well with your life and hope you someday find comfort in your experiences.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Dean&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
In reply to the humorous mockery regarding my experiences I was under no illusion that many would poke fun at me. However it doesn’t really matter because there will always be differences of opinion. It is however a shame because there are many others who will learn from this experience and keep their experiences truly buried. I really hope that you enjoy your moment of fun because that’s all it is a moment of fun a cheap jibe.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
It wasn’t possible for the journalist who covered my story to include all the detail and the supportive evidence to my claims, because he was limited to a predefined space in the newspaper. I am and always have been a sceptical and self critical person and the full account, which remains unpublished, is highly detailed and needs to be judged in its entirety. Also note that I was asked whether I would share some of my experiences as part of a film promotion and that I did so freely, without any payment. Maybe you should sell your story it could make you millions?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Kind regards,&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Stefan Lobuczek :)&lt;br&gt;

My advice is not to lick the fingers of strange people in fast food restaurants, enticing as this may be, as people generally don't wash their hands before tucking in. You don't know where they have been. </content></entry></feed>
