Bogush, your behaviour on a number of threads is becoming offensive and tiresome. Lighten up or leave.

"A number of threads"?!

Excuse me, but, if you care to check the thread you will find that

a) It started off with people offensively and tiresomely abusing the person who started the thread.

Including insulting their potential dyslexia or other possible learning difficulties.

Would you like to ask your legal experts the law regarding that?

b) I originally came in to politely request that people politely answered his query.

The response has been to:

i) Insult me in general.

ii) Libel me.

iii) Insult my name, which has overtones of both religious and racial abuse.

iv) Even appear to threaten me with violence.

Would you like to ask your legal experts the law regarding that?

c) You have now locked the relevant thread with a number of posts which I cannot defend myself against.

Specifically this, which probably amounts to a threat of harassment and/or incitement to stalking and/or some infringement of the data protection laws and /or abuse of police powers, or some such:

I may be a Goon/wit but I and many other Police Officers have the power to fine the likes of you and indeed take your liberty. I and they have enough knowledge of law to do this quite satisfactorily with little comeback from any complaint you or your kind may wish to make. I usually spot these type of people within seconds when I deal with them in real life. These type of people are not worth wasting breath over but they are worth wasting ink on the relevant forms. I note that after a comment from me about revealing what you actually do for a living and even what gender you are has been noticable by its absence of a reply. Still it must feel very safe and secure writing all those things that you really wish you could get away with face to face in the real world. Its great to be anonymous isn't it

PS in response to that:

Would gone like to remind me where:

And I'll happily reply.

You have been told by several serving Police officers that is is illegal to block a driveway.

DVD said:

OBSTRUCTION OF A ROAD - VEHICLES Road Vehicles (Con and Use) Regs, 1986 Reg 103. No person i/c m/veh or trailer, shall cause or permit vehicle to stand on a road so as to cause unnecessary obstruction of the road. Seemingly coming out onto the road from drive with vehicle parked across is obstruction whereas parked in same condition on trying to gain access is obstructing drive not road. Plethora of case law as PU will confirm on what is and what isn’t with the yardstick defined in Nagy v Weston 1965: - Whilst there must be proof of unreasonable obstruction, whether or not use amounting to obstruction was or not unreasonable use was a question of fact depending on all the circumstances, including length of time obstruction continued, the place where it occurred, the purpose for which it was done and whether it caused an actual as opposed to a potential obstruction......

If DVD cares to confirm that his quote means the same as gone's (as I've already requested) I'll happily admit that I'm wrong and admit that gone is right and apologise for claiming otherwise.

However, I won't bother waiting for a post to the opposite effect, or an apology from anyone in the same vein should it materialise.

Nor will I bother waiting for an apology for the abuse or threats, nor to see an apology to the thread starter.

Fell free to email me if you think I need to post an apology.

PPS And if you think my reactions have been unreasonable, ask your legal experts about causing dorifter or myself Harassment, Alarm or Distress.

Or are they going to be hypocritical again?

[PetrolTed]

Ok, point made, right to reply exercised.

Now I suggest that everyone calm down.
