A note of warning: 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 repeated resurgence, however, if you should see or for any reason 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. Please note also that I am grateful for all invitations, but that to my regret this situation makes it hard and rare for me to be able to attend in-person live events. Thank you.― CM
