Last evening, I received a friend request from Elisabeth Rufina Wilberg which I accepted after noting we had a dozen mutual friends. A minute later, I received a private message which resulted in the conversation below.

Claude Bouchard: Fuck off, Elisabeth...

At this point, I considered our chat over, having worn out my friendship with Lizzy aka Sergeant Raymond Chandler. I had already unfriended him and turned off the iPad for the night.

This morning, I noted he had sent me another friend request and had sent the following messages:

Elisabeth Rufina Wilberg: how do you mean?

Elisabeth Rufina Wilberg: hello friend how you there ?

Elisabeth Rufina Wilberg: have you contact? the diplomat

Obviously a sharp man, Sarge is...
