Everything that I say is worth reading and of interest to me.

The arrest referred to above, from which there was no outcome
apart from a plod being prosecuted for assault by the CPS, was
one instigated by Brian Reay who had a number of people arrested
for harassment that year merely for not only disagreeing with him
on Usenet but maintaining that disagreement.

Reay had posted that my wife was a sheep in the bed next to me and I was
pressing him for an apology and retraction, (my solicitor
recommended a llibel action against reay). Any reasonable grownup
would not hesitate to  apologise whan made aware of such great offence,
but reay's response was to have me arrested.
