    He's got 7 recommendations on LinkedIn, so "someone" must know him.

      I find it a worry that the new Mental Health Act gives the "authorities" the right to detain someone even though they're not acting in a way that makes them a danger to themselves or others or committing any crime.

        He was / is chasingtheaurora.

        Wasn't banned, but once the bigamy news broke, for some reason he stopped posting under that ID

          Yeah - he was "ChasingtheAurora" - duped some of us (myself included) into sponsoring his trek to the NorthPole or where ever it was he was going...

          After it was all in the papers the last time, he was banned (I thought) ... I can't remember if the police were involved - Admin would have to confirm that... he did a good job of sneaking back in, the crazy loon.

            Hmm... Shall we see if he posts again under Menelaus from inside the nick? He can update us from the (slightly less comfortable) bench.

            Is that bad taste or natural curiosity?

              I know... I can't believe it didn't click with me - now I look back he was pretty similar (except for the stalking PM's etc...)

                It must be quite weird (and probably not an altogether pleasant experience) to be intelligent enough to realise that you are a mental case. Doesn't quite compute though.

                  Well he'd gravitated to the right place by winding up here at least.
