ATTN: Sir Tony

Hello Tony dear.

Can you please email me, I would very much like to meet you and have a
natter.

As a long standing but recently departed Listening Volunteer from The
Samaritans I think that I'll be able to understand what you want to
say.

Kindest regards,

 

Are you threatening me? That will be annother complaint.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, BGN amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

That's all well and good, Nicky, baby, but the fool needs at least half
a brain to interpret the response.

 

No dear, if you read the original post you will realise it was an
invitation out to speak with me. Not many people get them.

 

I've had some right nutters understand things. The way to do it is
not to tell them anything, but to just listen and reflect back what
has been said.

Most people have no idea what they've said to you until one tells them
what they've just said.

 

I think that I understood that.
Did I Nick?

Dave

 

You think you understood what I said?

 

No Mate. Quite the opposite. A threat would go something like this:
"I know where you live you f*cking c*nt, and I'm gonna come round there
and rape your f*cking hamster. Then I'm gonna beat you savagely with a
f*cking teaspoon!"

You see the difference?

Dave

 

If you don't wish to talk to me you can contact Samaritans in a number
of ways. They don't charge you money, they don't ask for donations
and you don't even need to have a specific reason for talking to them.
If you're not feeling great then talk to them.

1) Telephone:

08457 90 90 90 (local rate)

This is available 24/7, every day of the year. You will never get a
busy tone.

2) Letter:

Chris
P.O. Box 90 90
Stirling
FK8 2SA

3) Email:



They like to have all of their email answered within a day.

4) Walk into your local Samaritans branch and have a natter.

If you look in your local phone book (and sometimes in phone boxes, or
just ring directory enquiries and they'll tell you, or just ring the
phone number I gave you and they'll tell you where your nearest branch
is) under Samaritans you'll find the address of your local Sams office
(which is normally a normal house in a normal street) just give them a
call if you like and let them know you're coming. You don't have to
call them first, but it helps if they have someone there as not all of
the branches are 24/7.

It doesn't matter who you are - If you are in crisis, despairing or
suicidal, contacting them can make all the difference to talk about
how you are feeling.

You can speak in total confidence with one of their volunteers about
anything that is troubling you. They will not judge you; they will
not tell you what to do; but they will try to help you think things
through. With Samaritans, you get the time and the space to find a
way through.

 

Dont patronize me.

Look out for my post

 

I don't read uk.legal

Sorry. But please do have a look at my other post in this ukrm thread
with contact details for your local Samaritans branch as they'll be
happy to speak with you.

 

A wise move - it's full of bloody headcases, including the guy who thinks
that international figures are making personal remarks about him whenever
they appear on TV.

uk.legal.moderated is the place to go for legal advice and arguments about
moderation policy. Oh and extra Borg, which is lovely.

This is what I said on that group:

Some people on the UKRM has been publishing people's personal details,
posting directions to that address, slander, inciting people to harass
the occupants at that address on uk.rec.motorcycles.


In fact it was several people on that newsgroup who where involved in
that activity and I think it is disgusting the fact these people still
have an account.


I really think that newsgroup should be shut down, or the accounts of
those people should be terminated(immediately).

They're doing it to him, too?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Big Dave amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

Beating someone with a teaspoon is hardly a threat.

A wet tea towel on the other hand...

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, BGN amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

I find this kind of dialogue infuriating, personally.

 

That's because you're thinking like a relatively normal person.

To someone who has so much going on in their mind that they can't
concentrate and are utterly paranoid it helps to single out a thought
and expand upon it. Answering a statement with a yes/no reply isn't
always appropriate and makes it harder to open up other threads of
thought and conversation.

The presenting situation isn't always the issue "My husband always
comes home from work late" doesn't just lead to "It's because he hates
you" it would probably be responded to with:

How does that make you feel?
What do you do to cope when he's late?
How often does this happen?
How does that make you feel?
Is this a problem?
Do you worry?
How does that make you feel?
What do you worry about?
Do you worry for yourself?
Have you spoken to him about it?
How does that make you feel?

And a thousand more.

It may well be that he comes home from work late because he's very
busy working to a deadline and has only come home late twice that
week. It may be that this is the first time he's home late. His car
has broken down. It might be that his wife treats him badly and he's
using work as an escape route.

The husband might not even exist. The presenting problem is that the
woman is worried about something and has phoned the Samaritans. The
husband isn't there, he's out of the picture. The only issue is her
and she's in crisis.

As an example when I worked for them I had a lady call up because her
neighbours kept playing loud music and she couldn't concentrate on the
TV programme she was watching. Two hours later the call ended after
having gone through a personal tragedy, loss of one of her children,
feelings of unworthiness in the eyes of her father who never knew his
brother sexually abused her as a child and she was afraid that she
enjoyed it and married her husband because he looked like her uncle
but could never tell anyone. A lot of ground was covered.

 

There's nothing like a good gossip, is there?

Good God, you can't even quote *yourself* accurately

FTR here's what you actually said.

<quote>
Someone has been post a private address on a news-group, would that be
a civil or criminal
offence(especially of they slander the owner of that address and-then
proceed to post direction to that address on a public newsgroup)?
</quote>

and this:

That is a lie, I have never posted anyone's address on any newsgroup
and the photographs where of very poor quality(the registration numbers
could never be made out from them)

That was posted a long time ago, no action was taken against them and
the vehicles are owned by other people.

That is just a slanderus remark.

I was just asking if it was worth going to the police about the matter
or just send a report to that person's isp?

</quote>

So it's a good job that an increasing number of people don't care what you
think about UKRM
