It doesn't help that Simon's rather skewed account of those events (in which Simon needs to be portrayed as the victim) can't be relied upon. Here is the post where "Judith" admits sending the letter to BP which then turned up at work a few days later signed by "Peter Grainger". https://groups.google.com/d/msg/uk.r...c/J8CtbQjoujYJ This was "water under the bridge" a few hours earlier; make your mind up! -- Bah, and indeed, Humbug. All of this is brand new to some people though. |

I sincerely hope that Simon does not mind this speculation that we are engaged in (if you wish, Simon, say the word and I will desist forthwith). I don't really care about it as it was nearly a decade ago now and the protagonists in the case all failed in their attempts to get me into trouble in any meaningful way. All water under the bridge. Good. (By the way, I know I've got some things wrong, Simon, you think this 'Peter' poster was 'Judith' and you must know far better than I). It must have caused quite a stir in ukrc at the time to still be remembered and talked about nearly a decade later. And you must play a leading part in the history of this news group. I have been here since urc first started in 1995. That's a wealth of experience in this group. Judith first turned up in 2008 because of this incident. "The foray which led to my bet on the long thread when I first visited here, was as a result of me being told by a colleague they had visited uk.rec.cycling as part of some research project and had observed "an unusual strata (SIC) of newsnet society". https://groups.google.com/d/msg/uk.r...k/cHQ0rXqQsVMJ This is an example of what I mean about my finding usenet far more involved than I thought it would be. (...and I like the highlight of an incorrect use of a plural word). Incidentally, there was a nice mind-expanding bit in that linked thread when one of the posters, Toom Tabard, comes out with the line: "I could be a group of psychology students doing a project for their dissertations." It had never crossed my mind before that one poster could actually comprise of more than one person. Whilst I have had that impression about (some) subscriber accounts in other NGs, it has never seemed to me that it happens in ukrc. It is rather the opposite he certain individuals using various names and pretending to be multiple people (not always successfully). It's good to have the ability to discern that kind of thing. I imagine the more experience of usenet you have, the more chance you have of enhancing your ability. Everyone wants to know, or at least have a good idea, of what is happening around them. I also notice your required skills may be slightly different according to which NG you are in. It all adds to the interest, though, and I find there are plenty of worthwhile posts to be found. |

As I understand it there's no evidence of an investigation and nothing came of it. Is that more or less right? The only outcome was that I was forced to take proper breaks and post to urc during those periods. I retired on my 56th birthday in 2014. It ended well and you didn't experience any problems. Good. |

Would they still think she and her father was in the right? Perhaps the cyclists can get you for libel with your claim "that they have taken the side of the father". Simon has alleged the man committed a public order offence. Simon also provided own false testimony. See: MID It's pointless making a link. If there is something you want to bring forward just copy and past it. Not that it's relevant. Wake up, duh! The link show the origin of what I quoted. I hope you're pretending to be thick and that it's not natural. I know what a link is. I know it's irrelevant. I also know that you refuse to acknowledge that your comment at the top was not accurate. Let e hold your hand and go over this. You wrote: "It's pointless making a link. If there is something you want to bring forward just copy and past it. Not that it's relevant." In your haste you failed to notice that in actual fact I had done exactly that. Don't trip over your shoelaces in future. |
