I'm not offended, not at all, sorry if I sounded like I am. If anything, I'm disappointed that my writing missed the mark and made the character cause the wrong impression, or at least not the impression I wanted it to cause. Personally, I still don't quite see him as creepy but then I'm obviously biased. Though I am interested you find a gossipy flirt creepy, that's just not the word that would occur to me when describing one.

If the uncle thing is that odd to most people, I'll consider changing it, it was only something I thought about in those terms right as I got to the end. In Britain and in France, it's not really that weird.
