Q: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -= abuse in. set-up situations and in public -= -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- strangers in the street have recognized me on. sight many times and shown awareness of. the current thread of abuse. to give you one example in 1992 i was seriously ill and a manager at work somewhat. humorously said that it wasnt. fair that people were bullying me. a few days later i attended for the. first time a clinic in london as an outpatient and on my way out was accosted. by someone who asked if they had paid my fare with emphasis on the. word fare. he repeated the word several times in this different context; that they should have. paid my fare each time emphasizing the word. for two and a half years from the. time their harassment started until november 1992 i refused to. see a psychiatrist because i reasoned that i was not ill of. my own action or fault but through the stress caused by harassment and that a lessening of the. illness would have to be consequent to a removal of its immediate cause in other words a cessation. of harassment. i also reasoned that. since they were taunting me with jokes about mental illness if i were. to seek treatment then the abusers would think that they had won. and been proved right. remember the constant theme of. any persecution is we must destroy you because youre x whether x is a racial or other attribute. in this case. the x was we persecute you. because you have brain disease. the similarity of this logic to nazi attitudes to the mentally ill. is striking. the same. manager whod said it wasnt fair asked me in winter 1992 why i didnt. seek help from a psychiatrist; was it he asked because they would think they had won if i. sought treatment that was something id never said at work... again taken separately it proves nothing. but many such things over a period of. months proves conclusively that people in the company knew what was going. on and in quite a lot of detail. usually harassment in public. lacks the level of finesse of paying your fare. most peoples imagination does not go. beyond moronic parroting of the current term of. denigration. that is not surprising given the average level. of the abusers; if they do not have the intelligence to distinguish wrong. from right then neither will they have the capacity for anything other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic term calculated. to fit into their. minds. the. first incidents of verbal assault in public were in again in the summer of 1990. although they increased in frequency and venom with time. in july 1990 the first public incident occurred on a tube train on. the northern line. two men and their girlfriends recognised me;. the women sprang to my defence saying he looks perfectly normal he doesnt look. ill. their boyfriends of course knew better and followed the party line;. one of them made reference to an operation apparently. to work at the tube station but implicitly to a visit that i had made to. hospital a couple of weeks previously. in august. 1990 going home from college soon after getting on a tube train at gloucester. road i was followed by a group of four youths who started a chant of abuse.. that they were targeting me was confirmed by other people in the carriage one of whom asked the other who. are they going on at is it the bloke who just. got on to which the second replied yes i think so. i. was tempted to reply but as in every other instance the abusers are enabled in their cowardice. by physically outnumbering the abused; any confrontation would. result in my being beaten up followed by a complaint to. the police that he attacked us and of course hes ill so he must have been imagining that we were. getting at him. shitty arent they but the shittiness of the. four youths on the tube train is as nothing compared to the episode on the national express coach to dover in. the summer of 1992.. while going on holiday to the continent i was verbally set upon by a couple travelling sitting. a few rows behind. the boy did the talking his. female companion contributing only a continuous empty giggling noise. he spoke loudly. to ensure other people on the coach heard always about. they and this bloke but never naming either the abusers or the person he was talking about. he said they had found. somebody from his school and he. was always really stressed at school. they must have dug deep to find enemies there; perhaps someone who dropped out of. school someone who didnt do too well later who was jealous and. keen to get their own. back the boy also said he was in a bed and breakfast for only one night and they. got him. by a not unexpected coincidence i had been in a b&b in oxford a. week previously which had been booked from work; other things lead me to the. conclusion that the companys offices were bugged for most of. the 2 1/2 years that i was there so they wou
