This is starting to resemble some of the online ramblings that are out there. The Dr. that Maurice harassed gave an opinion about a brain scan that he was not medically qualified to give and used it to try and have Maurice sectioned. Any one of us would feel aggrieved if treated like that. Unfortunately the way Maurice has pursued his complaint has got him locked up. The way that Maurice conducts himself in Court does not get him any sympathy either.

Clareprop.... A link to the study of the profession that have higher numbers of psycopaths is given below:

https://www.dmarge.com/2017/10/psych...ons-study.html

I agree it not a crime to be a pscopath, but some pychopaths actions are criminal, for example Hitler, Stalin, Shipman, Dahmer, etc.

Also Clareprop, that transcript was interesting, where did you get it from? Because my understanding is that civil hearings are recorded and if you want a written copy of the transcript you have to pay the court to type it out, which is costly.

What you say here is rather good in that if Maurice could get that point across at Court clearly, either a jury could chose not to convict. Or Maurice could have less of a sentence. Either way he would not be locked up.

It appears that a PDF of the transcript was uploaded in 2010 to a blog titled "Victims Unite". The site doesn't say why/who required the transcript to be mde.
https://victimsunite.files.wordpress...transcript.pdf

Also comes up in a Google search on Kirk's own site, from where it can still be downloaded even though the rest of the site seems to have disappeared.

Doesn't every Flying Club have at least one eccentric member like him?

My one, admittedly now defunct, had at least two. Neither of whom was me!

I greatly admire Rutherford's balls for attempting to harness and rein in Kirk for a trans-Africa gig. Kirk would be tremendous value around the campfire with a dram in his hand, but OMG! Can you imagine trying to bring the bugger (Kirk, not Rutherford) into line for the benefit of the group?

Hello posters, While Mr. Kirk has been given a time out from society, there really isn't any new news about his adventures. So we'll give this thread a time out too, and see what happens in the future.
