-= my response to the. harassment -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

My first reaction in 1990/91 was to assume that if I broke contact. then
they would not be able to follow. and would lose interest. So I did the
things that have been suggested by. other people; I sold my television,
stopped listening to the radio. and tried to withdraw away from the sources
of. abuse as much as possible. I reasoned that they must have more important
things to deal with and that normal people would. simply leave me alone if
it were. made difficult for them to continue their harassment.

I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness of the abusers. They. did not
let up. but instead "got to" people around me, mainly people at work, to do
their dirty work for them. I went to see my GP, who. refused to believe what
he was being told, and. refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of
practical assistance. It was not. until three years had passed that the GP
admitted the matter was outside his competence and. suggested going to the
police.
