Police withdraw stalking protection order application against Caroline Farrow

It is annoying to have to skip wads of text to find the genuine updates. You do not have to respond to attention seekers, just ignore them and let them talk to themself.

Well now. There's interesting.
I strongly doubt that she's on a jolly in Australia in that case.

The email says on leave (it's just dawned what the difference might be but that's probably too hopeful).

Does the bounce back email message from the Surrey Officer say that she is:
On leave?
or
On holiday?

As there is a difference in meaning iyswim. I'm itching to know, but no worries if it's not something to share.

It's not presenting an argument when I say "An officer is on a seven week jolly having racked up seven thousand pounds to the taxpayer 'cos she was too lazy and / or biased to acknowledge Caroline's submissions leading to her application being binned." That's just a fact that I'm allowed to share.

And I'll have a moment of being egotistical when I say that, as someone who sees most correspondence and case details, posters are likely to find me more credible than a self-identified police officer.

And anyway, I'm a Dr, so authority, innit.

I hope Caroline is doing OK. She's been in my thoughts this weekend and I even said a little prayer for her. I'm baptised Catholic but haven't had any faith for a long time but I know she is devout.

Tone deaf, narcissistic males come in all shapes, sizes and uniforms.
Just saying.

Maybe - I'm not with Cleveland though

No wonder Cleveland Police ended up in special measures.

No - I'm not here to close down threads - unlike the previous threads on this subject matter which was 'closed down' by posters making references to cheese or desserts - just to bring the thread up to its maximum posts its allowed to have.

If posters raise comments on this thread relating to BWV, annual leave etc etc, I am going to comment on it, if I disagree with what is written (time travel etc).

Its a public discussion forum.

And a little surly, surely?

Pop up "policemen", on threads such as these, ime, are not here to honestly engage. The aim is to disrupt and close down threads.
An engineered claim of him being subjected to personal abuse from certain posters, was deleted by the mods.

Playing tag and appealing to a better nature doesn't work - except to feed a constant need for attention.

Any genuine police officer who carries on in the obsessive manner we see here, I view as being seriously lacking in integrity, insight, or potentially seriously unwell. I still don't believe this is actually a serving police officer however.

None of the women police officers/staff on MN have ever carried on like this, in all the years I've been reading MN threads.

IwantToRetire upthread speaks so much sense.
I'll look back in when there is a genuine update on Caroline's situation.

Yes but no one else seems to need to "push home" their argument in the same way.

Yes it does come across as arrogant.

But this community is 'by parents for parents' and men also post on here, but it appears that you are OK with this, so long as they agree with everything that is being said.

If I disagree with certain points, I am freely able to make comments on it. And anyone is free to add an alternative view - where I have prevented this from happening?

And yes - I often find myself repeating what I have said as the same argument keeps being repeated back to me. And yes, the discussion should move on - yet posters keep bringing things up like BWV & time travel, my humanity, annual leave etc etc

And I don't 'set myself up as superior' I'm posting from my experience - where have I ever said that 'I am more superior'. Like i said before, I don't use the argument from authority.

I think this place is needed to meet certain needs.

Felix, this is a discussion forum. It is where (mainly) women discuss things anonymously. Discussion on most threads meanders and moves on. You are very focussed on police procedure and are preventing the discussion from moving on. It is as if you believe that if you repeat yourself enough we will all submit to your greater knowledge. It appears that even serving policewomen are not allowed to suggest an alternative view.

It all comes across as very patronising and irritating. I very much hope that you are not actually a serving policeman as your emotional intelligence is awry and you seem unable to read the room.

As for the spelling and grammar. You set yourself up as so superior yet don't come across as particularly literate. That is why repeated posters cannot "bare" it.

Can't you just find another on-line community.

Its a public discussion forum, so this thread is not a 'private space'
And if people raise issues which I want to comment on - I am free to do so.

Such as the recent BWV subject where the 'time travel' argument was again raised.

Or how is it possible for a cop to get a 7 week holiday and why the rest of their team will not be able to just automatically take on their case load.

I forgot the manspreading and mansplaining and attempts to dominate the discourse

someone keeps coming into a space despite being clearly unwelcome, apparently in need of validation for their claimed identity

I unno, rings a bell likesay

Who would repeatedly post on a thread they are not wanted on? What motivation could there be? 🤔

IwantToRetire
I commented on the question as to why the OIC has taken a 7 week holiday.
I commented on the BWV issue.
I comment on other threads about police issues.
Its a public forum - I can make comments on theses threads.

I don't really care that you can't spell - but I'm not sure why other posters seem to pick my spelling & grammar to pieces but not others - it does just seem really strange.

Just a general response to those who replied to me earlier. Somehow the notification system didn't alert me there were more replies, and here I was sitting smugly all day thinking I had accomplished my task. To stop the thread being derailed.

In my mind and why I joined this thread was to be kept up to date with what is happening to Caroline Farrow.

And it seems to have got totally swamped by somebody who has appointed themselves to comment on new information as it is posted, when no comments are needed. They are updates.

Added to which it just seemed really clear that when others mentioned other issues with the police, the long winded commentary about why police would or would not do something, just didn't happen. Implying some strange obsession with this one case.

Why? But please note I dont actually want a reply. Just said to make clear it appears really strange.

In addition, so I am quite immune to comments about my writing,, I cant spell (I left school at 16 with a report saying this girl is barely literate!), I am a slow typist and often dont have the check what I have said.

And yes I know it can make my posts seem a bit mad, but we all have our flaws.

I do hope the threads get regular updates.

I do hope the running commentary would stop.

It didn't happen. Not as you said. No one called you a pig. But you chose to interpret the 'evidence' that way. Perhaps you are a copper?

Glad your feelings weren't hurt.

That's why I said probably - they might then in this case.

But most CC's won't know about every offence and investigation that goes on in their force.

Well, quite.
