Kaor, Paul!
Commenting about your point "iv," I would say rather that for Ignatieff the destruction of all life on Earth was the end he sought and the pleasure he derived from that was the reward the Peacock Angel gave to his faithful votaries.
Your point "vi" says: "Aycharaych and Flandry enjoy their CONVERSIONS whereas and Ignatieff and King fight to the death from their very first meeting." I think you meant CONVERSATIONS here.
