Thank you very much.  You have destroyed years of theraputic work, and
shaken my entire belief foundation.  How did you do this?  Well, Richard,
you killed Ryouga.  Not only did you kill him, you had the daughter of Ranma
and Akane kill him.  That was evil.  Ryouga's death I might have gotten
over, but not this corruption of the Saotome/Tendo line.  This is
unforgivable.  This is a "Cry Havok and let loose the Dogs of War!" level
offence.  This is beyond the trouble that makes you say "Oh, bugger!".  This
is Double Big Mac whammy trouble.  Taste my four all beef patties, special
sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions of Rage on the sesame seed bun of
Justice!!!!  SPOON!!!

I'm sure you had your reasons for killing Ryouga, and I'm sure that they are
good ones, but that doesn't mean that I have to like it.

>From inside a dark cave, the vioce of Ryouga is heard:
"I'm not quite dead!"

JDF rephrases:
"I'm sure you had your reasons for *mortally wounding* Ryouga, and I'm
sure that they..."

The voice is heard again:
"I could pull through! Actually, I think I'm all right to have a
further role in this storyline!"

What will be the outcome? Tune in tomorrow...
