An Occasional Miscellany

Does it count if you push the bees to hive within a skull? It doesn’t count, & the honey that you get is nothing.

Please note: for well over a decade, I’ve been subjected to a campaign of stalking, harassment and online defamation. This has included but not been restricted to: spreading libellous falsehoods about me; seeking out private information about me by subterfuge; and tracking down my friends and colleagues and contacting them, anonymously or pseudonymously, with defamatory falsehoods about me. This campaign escalated to the point that I was ultimately driven to seek the help of the National Stalking Helpline, the police, and a law firm specialising in such situations, Collyer Bristow. Legal intervention was mostly successful in winding down the campaign for a time. Due to its occasional and repeated resurgence, however, if you should see or receive any untoward messages or claims about me, I would request that you don’t respond or engage, but that you forward them to my assistant using the contact details above, for our records. Thank you. ― CM
