'We are still receiving awful emails from Australia. I posted a batch of 200 or so to you yesterday. We've kept everything, but do please let know if you want me to stop forwarding them. They don't make for pleasant reading'; copy, 1000 words, for Tim Lusher; substantial pile of printed out email responses to the column (sent to Greer's agent Gillon Aitken), most extremely critical of the piece and its author. Many contain obscene language and insults. 'Germaine Greer is not welcome back in this country,' is a polite exemplar. Some urge Gillon Aitken to drop Greer as a client.
