HERE IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FROM MANHATTAN
Dear Dippymonger:
I’m going to be as clear about this as I possibly can. You are being a jerk.
Several members have gone to excruciating lengths to answer your questions even after you proved yourself to be a whiny, petulant child. Please disabuse youself of any notion that I will stand for anyone to treat the members the way you have. I will not. You are at serious risk of losing your ability to post to this message board if you don’t clean up your act. And soon. Like, now.
If you are unable to take some gentle ribbing about your inability to use a search engine or follow a link without insulting the members of our message board, perhaps it is time for you to find another one.
I hope this little warning will serve to make you consider how you intend in the future to conduct yourself in the General Questions forum specifically and on the Straight Dope Message Board generally. In the meantime, because you went to such lengths to annoy me, you are prohibited from ever asking a question about Casanova again.

“Several members have gone to excruciating lengths to answer your questions even after you proved yourself to be a whiny, petulant child”
No my question was never answered.
“Please disabuse youself of any notion that I will stand for anyone to treat the members the way you have. I will not”
I never treated anyone bad unless they initially treated me bad. But do they get threatening emails? Nooooooo…
“You are at serious risk of losing your ability to post to this message board if you don’t clean up your act. And soon. Like, now.”
So I’ll just re-register
“If you are unable to take some gentle ribbing about your inability to use a search engine or follow a link without insulting the members of our message board, perhaps it is time for you to find another one.”
I used a search engine, I followed the links, my question was never answered in either.
"I hope this little warning will serve to make you consider how you intend in the future to conduct yourself in the General Questions forum specifically and on the Straight Dope Message Board generally. "
Doing nothing wrong? That’s bad?
“In the meantime, because you went to such lengths to annoy me, you are prohibited from ever asking a question about Casanova again.”

So can anyone tell me how Casanova escaped from prison?
