Good point H, I'll see what I can do to breathe some much-needed life into this noble cause.
I will briefly comment that this thread has been a salutary lesson for barnett in that he has been rightly vilified and he hasn't been able to do one damn thing about it.
And so he's defaulted to the next best thing and tried to keep his fat ugly head down and hope it all blows over but I'm afraid that is a short term strategy doomed to failure because people like him just can't stop being people like him.
I shall return .........

Hold the front page - There's a knock on the door ...
When I saw Jay’s [Budhha3] comment re this thread reaching the100,000 mark, I thought it timely to summarise this whole thread in terms of its impact, and what might happen now.
I sat down last night and got to about 500 words before closing my laptop lid intending to continue today.
But then, at about 11.30 this morning, I was sitting in my front room and saw a WPC pass my front-room window .... twenty seconds later, there was a knock on the door and the WPC asked if I was ‘Peter Robinson’ ... I’ve had this happen a few times and so I was kinda curious to know what she wanted this time.
It turns out that the WPC came to my house to generously donate a ‘Prevention of Harassment’ letter ... note the word ‘letter’ and not ‘order’.
She seemed very nice and continued to explain why she was there.
I really couldn’t believe what she was saying but essentially, she was asking [not ordering] me to cease all so-called harassment of barnett by myself.
Now, I’m no solicitor but I’ll post the harassment letter up here for your comments - I think a few things stand out, for me at least.
And so, I’ll scan it in and post it up here and see if any of you guys spot the BS and errors involved.
One of the biggest mistakes he makes is, to believe one of his own lies and then use it as an example of harassment.
My my, barnett never fails to disappoint, he really does act before thinking and I've no doubt he won't even realise what he's done here.
One thing though, I think the reason behind this letter is to make me stop voicing my opinion .... that ain’t gonna happen I’m afraid because as far as I know, I’m at liberty to state my opinion and if in doing that, barnett wishes to take me to court then I’m quite prepared to do exactly that ... I'm afraid going to court will hurt him a lot more then myself - after all, what sort of alleged grown-man runs like a little girl to the police in an attempt to stop somebody talking about him???
I got a much better strategy for making me stop and that's, don't fuhkin do what he's been doing ... simple !!!
Awwww ...... what a man :/
I will return to comment after other people have read the letter and see if they identify the same mistakes ....

1. This isn't exactly a chat room, more of a forum for an exchange of ideas...yep that's exactly what it is a forum.
2. This is the mildest "Please sir, if you could stop saying allegedly hurtful things to our client who's getting sand in his mangina, sand which could only be called 'coarse'. It would be ever so kind of you. However, if not, there is nothing we can do to stop you."
This is basically the adult equivalent of "I'm telling Mom!"
It is also hilarious.

He's actually stated several things that are just untrue and I welcome any opportunity to go to court and enlighten the bench as to what is actually true.
barnett seems to have forgotten the basic premise of any litigation and that is to make damned sure that every detail supplied as grounds for an harassment order [not letter] must necessarily be truthful and verifiable ... he's made a serious mistake here and one that will inevitably undermine any accusations of harassment.

But, but, but, hang on...... isn't barnett the one who always says he doesn't bother with these things and how it doesn't annoy him. Now all of a sudden it's causing him "harassment alarm and distress"
Number one, the grammar isn't good, there are some glaring errors.
Did the officer provide identification? Wouldn't surprise me if it was a hired costume.
Number two, Pete never said anything about child abuse. It was another member who posted that up was it not?
Dear goodness me, does he not realise who his worst enemy actually is?

It's a standard police information notice, 100's get dished out every day. It informs you an allegation has been made and should say on there somewhere that the police make no comment at this stage on the validity of the claims.
To prove harassment you need to show two things:
1) that a course of conduct has been pursued that caused harassment (more than one occasion)
2)That the offender knew or should reasonably have known that the actions caused harassment.
This notice satisfies the second requirement and is used as evidence that you now know the mentioned actions cause harassment.
If the same actions continue and Barnett complains and can evidence it then you will be arrested, it will be down to a court to decide if the actions taken actually did constitute harassment.
Also it matters not that what you say is true, that's why people are prosecuted for harassment when they try to 'out' paedophiles online or by posting notices etc, what they say may be true but causes harassment to the person on the receiving end.

Harassment being determined by what exactly?
As far as I know, the overlap of one's freedom of speech with any alleged harassment needs to be clarified surely?
I haven't said I'm gonna injure him - I've offered to meet him but that proves nothing more than a willingness on my part to meet up.
However he interprets that is down to him not me... I can't account for his insecurities or indeed for his vivid imagination.
He's obviously made a statement to police on which the police have acted but what if those accusations are false?
He's accused me of something that's just not true ... does this constitute grounds for harassment or do I need to go to court to get it clarified?
I asked the WPC explicitly if signing of the letter of receipt meant I was admitting to harassment and she replied that I'm only acknowledging receipt of the letter and not any admission, tacit or otherwise, of its content.
I'm damned sure barnett never liked any of the accusations levelled against him but I'd be hard pressed to believe its harassment because then it leaves open the ridiculous possibility that anyone can claim harassment of somebody writing about them .... if this were true, all of the newspaper's would be out of business
.
Surely harassment has to be precisely clarified and not left to the vagaries and sensitivities of any Tom, Dick and Harry who happen not to like something written about them???
