(Yawn, this is following a pattern, right? Remember when Slime and his dodgy bedfellows Wizz and the Glumbo thought that a wee prank letter fell into the area of serious crime?) But anyway, this one is stretching credulity even further.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;First some background to this. A few of us were falsely reported to various police forces by a former director of Quaeras-UK, G**** Mac*****, I*** R***** (then CEO of Quaeras-UK) and a few of their forum members, one most likely being Scooby Doo, the self-proclaimed moral conscience of Quaeras-UK's forum, who has a history of making false claims to police forces and C**** H****** who works for C*****. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The people that were falsely reported to the police wanted to know where the police had got their addresses from, the only possible chance of that happening would have been through the Quaeras-UK contact list. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Er, no, all three culprits collared by the law and given due cautions for their disgusting, childish and threatening behaviour, including offences such as gross indecency, Slime (aka Elvis), Wizz and Glum, had addresses in the public domain at that time, with a little bit of Google research. I have no idea whether they were Quaeras-UK members, but I suspect not as the one thing they all had in common was being cheapskate dead obvious sock-puppets like Ryder and Evil-C who would ride on a charity forum pretending to be dying of cancer to make some crappy point without ever wanting to pay their charity dues.

The whole world knows that the Ryder “family” is an invention that stems from Clive’s love of the B-shock-horror movie, “The Hitcher” in which John Ryder is the name of the psychopathic mass murderer. “John Ryder” didn’t die, because he never existed. Clive is one very sick individual. No sane person, and no carer, however stressed, could come up with this sickening confusion between fiction and fact within hours of the death of a much loved little boy:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;blockquote&gt;clivegsd&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;blockquote&gt;Post subject: Re: A**** Admits D*** R**** Is Harassing Glynne&lt;br /&gt;    PostPosted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 12:12 pm&lt;br /&gt;   " I can think of nothing worse than losing a child.

We have no hard evidence either way. Indeed, he claims (see above) that he cant live without animals; though this may actually refer to his legendary hamburger habit. Yes, he may have killed a couple of goldfish by not changing their water often enough; but to be fair; the jury is out on that one. Has he fried a helpless kitten in a microwave oven? Definitely not. Well, not as far as we know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has he ever pursued fetching young sheep across the fells in hot lust wearing his wellies and n'owt else? Is he a ferret fancier? We just don't know - to say otherwise would be mere speculation. But would I trust him to look after my pet labradoodle whilst away for a few months hob-nobbing with the cannibal savages of Namibia? Well certainly not.

Therefore, you would be even less representative of carers than Carers UK and the PRTC. What gives you the right to speak for carers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Yes the CEO of CarersUK and PRTC refused to meet with you. Can you blame them?

He only has four people left posting actively on his forum - the rest simply voted with their feet.

This could explain this outburst, and many similar ones::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I wouldn't trust a board that was run by people that are untrustworthy and the people running XXXX  have proved that they don't deserve anyone's trust.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;In fact I'd go so far as to say I'll try my best to deter as many Carers as possible to avoid taking part because of the involvement of charities and the crawling to charities by this particular group.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Untrustworthiness is an odd concept coming from a man who was still taking paypal donations to his unregistered "true Charity" for at least a year after his application was turned down flat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Posted on: Jan 12 2007, 11:06 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;I won't be making a PENNY out of this myself, Carers are screwed by loads of people I'M NOT going to be one of those, this charity will be for the benefit of the people it is set up for NOT for the trustees/staff/founder (founder being ME). &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the curious thing is that when Clive Arnold was approached in 2008 (in a now-famous and well documented hoax) to ask him to become a Charity trustee on expenses of £500 a day, he leaped at the opportunity and promptly phoned the number given like a brand new convert to charities and all they stand for!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that some people have very fluid principles, and find the lure of hard cash very tempting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we set up a little trap to see just how much "integrity" he had when offered £3,500 to become a charity Trustee by invitation. Answer: none at all, he swallowed the bait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;The following letter was sent in mid- September to Arnold, shortly after his latest forum had been taken out for breach of TACs ( something that keeps on happening to Arnold &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;for publishing personal abuse and private information about other carers &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;) ,,,,,,,,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Invitation to become a Trustee of &lt;/span&gt;XXXX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent months there has been a major change of focus within the XXXX .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An internal confidential review has recommended that we become a UK-wide carer-led membership and campaigning organisation, and to do this it is clear that we must widen our current group of Trustees to include several independent carers representatives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your name has been proposed as a person  with significant grass roots carer support. At their recent meeting on 29th August the Trustees indicated their support for your nomination,  and I am therefore pleased on their behalf to invite you to join our Board of Trustees for a period of four years. Should you wish to accept the position, you will have a major input to developing our campaign policy and strategy, and help us to recruit our target of 20,000 individual voting members by 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The post is not remunerated, but, in recognition of the time required to prepare for and attend approximately seven meetings a year, it carries an honorarium of £3,500 per annum. Your receipted air, rail and taxi fares, expenses and respite care costs will also be refunded when attending meetings on Board business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would be most obliged if you could leave a message on my personal voicemail&lt;br /&gt;T: 0709 XYZTHT immediately on receipt of this letter indicating your response to this invitation, in order to make arrangements for your induction and training day at our head office in Glasgow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yours sincerely,  &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather oddly, he decided to publish it on his own new forum requesting comments from his three members. The debate that followed was exquisite - clearly all four smelled a rat  , but none of them quite saw the point of the exercise at all, which was simply to get Clive Arnold  to phone the number. Merely by doing so, he was expressing an interest, and therefore throwing four years hard work aside, losing all credibility, and exposing ten thousand posts as a complete sham.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;To Be Or Not To Be (a Invitation to become a Trustee of PPTDL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like I said, I don't do things behind peoples backs so this is being done in the open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been invited to become a trustee of the XXXX  for some unknown reason&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For all I know this could be a spoof letter trying to muck me about but if it's real then I need to know what others think. I have sort of made my mind up but I need some input. One thing is for sure and that is I DON'T keep quiet and I DON'T 'do' dishonest. Let me know. HELL if you aren't a member here then sign up and let me know....except for those dishonest backstabbing gits, I take it they know who they are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The debate that followed was truly hilarious, with member after member encouraging him to follow it up. This post from Pixie set the tone of those that followed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;I know that you know my view already Clive but I shall put it here too.&lt;br /&gt;I would go for it.&lt;br /&gt;You will then be working from the inside to help carers and will obviously have the name of XXX behind you too, which will obviously give more umph.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody will ever make you shut up Clive  so you'd just as well shout from a good standpoint with their backing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know you don't like the charities but that is because they don't do enough for carers, so get stuck in and get the job done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't say you have gone running to the charities because you will have infuence over their policies then and will be working with them for the good of all carers.&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then this from another member:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I agree with Pixie, Clive.&lt;br /&gt;If this is for real, go for it.&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both Clive and Ian thought that they understood the law, but failed to make the distinction between fraud and a hoax:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;If it IS a fake then whoever did it has really overstepped the mark, this would make it serious fraud, impersonating a charity? Now that WOULD be a stupid thing to do.&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even Ian - using the word "wind up" assumed that hoaxes are illegal, a "serious crime" even. Of course they are not, otherwise every Halloween guiser, prankster, and investigative journalist would be in jail. Impersonation is only a criminal offence if it is carried out for gain, whilst taking the mickey or exposing pomposity by pretending to be someone else is absolutely fine in a free democracy.

When the target asserts their right not to be bullied, a paranoid fear of exposure compels the bully to perceive that person as a threat and hence neutralise and dispose of them as quickly as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once a person has been eliminated there's an interval of between 2 days and 2 weeks before the bully chooses another target and the cycle starts again.&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bullyoffline.org/workbully/serial.htm" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.bullyoffline.org/workbully/serial.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;A few quotes give away the plot: what is this if not bullying?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;The elected Chair of a local Carers group decides to publish a blog to raise awareness of carers issues. Nothing remarkable about that, you might think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;Monday, February 02, 2009&lt;br /&gt;My name is David, I am a carer and the Chair of the XXXX Branch of Carers UK. Carers UK is a national charity and it is the only campaigning organisation for carers. We campaign on issues such as carers rights, carers in employment, health, finance, respite for carers and on issues that effect young carers (there are 170,000 young carers in the UK). Carers actually save the government £87b per year and there are 6m carers nationally (with over 70,000 carers in XXXX  alone). Carers health in so many cases is effected by their caring responsibilities; nationally over 250,000 carers provide 50 hours or more of unpaid care per week and many state that they are not in good health themselves (most of the above information is from the 2001 cencus which we have found very useful). Carers UK believes that doctors and other health professionals need to listen to carers plus share information and involve carers as potential partners in healthcare delivery.&lt;br /&gt;Labels: guest entry - Carers UK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;posted by Communuty at 3:10 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An hour of so later we have this unwelcome guest pay a call, who spends all his time online waiting to pounce on any new mention of the words &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Carers and UK&lt;/span&gt;: - what kind of a real carer could be so obsessive in his single minded need to dominate the net 24/7 - who else has the time ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table width="90%" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;    &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class="genmed"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr style="font-style: italic;"&gt;   &lt;td class="quote"&gt;Blogger Clive -  said...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Like HELL&lt;/span&gt; you are the only campaigning Carer organisation. There are many independent honest Carers doing their bit to raise awareness AND without a nice salary. Much as I hate mentioning another Carer charity what about the ***** Trust for Carers? Are they not ALSO a 'campaigning Carer organisation'?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How dare you patronise&lt;/span&gt; we Carers in that way. Carers UK are a 'closed shop' organisation that prevents real debate AND decides what Carers have said to government on their behalf! They have called Carers an "economic loss to the UK" and are so out of touch with grass-root Carers that it is embarrassing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carers are NOT charity cases as this blog seems to insinuate, your stats are way off base and some would say 'manipulated' to justify the charity's existence, and you have a CEL in E*****  who avoids contact with Carers as much as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What stunning arrogance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, quite apart from the fact that Arnold is wrong on the facts, (for example nowhere does the blog suggest that "carers are charity cases")   he simply has no excuse at all for this attack on someone he has never met. This is the classic Clive way of trying to wreck a perfectly reasonable first blog by attacking an elected carer's representative whom he does not know and has never met. This is the real reason why so many carers are prepared to go to such lengths to expose and confront Clive Arnold  - he is a vexatious serial troll who has put many carers off using the internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you used this kind of language to someones as you passed them in the street or at a meeting you would probably get hit, very hard. The only arrogance in this exchange is Clive himself  -  full of puffed up rage and fury against other carers simply because they support a democratic charity that he dislikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My conclusion? Clive Arnold is a middle-aged playground bully hiding behind his flickering screen and working out his fantasies of dominance. His time is up  ... the Internet has no place for dinosaurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/481979878678916766-8282135243702893204?l=okcarers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://okcarers.blogspot.com/feeds/8282135243702893204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://okcarers.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-clive-arnold-serial-bully.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/481979878678916766/posts/default/8282135243702893204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/481979878678916766/posts/default/8282135243702893204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://okcarers.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-clive-arnold-serial-bully.html' title='Is Clive Arnold a serial bully?'/><author><name>Baiterboy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10969687490036635753</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FgHRcWT3IkA/SZsOj0BmAEI/AAAAAAAAAAM/OyB6_itlRkw/S220/PORTRA~1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-481979878678916766.post-2484937618887024558</id><published>2009-02-17T09:56:00.001Z</published><updated>2009-02-19T17:28:27.038Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Clive Arnold UKCarers'/><title type='text'>Clive Arnold - this is your life</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;OK Carers - it is a matter of public concern when the "owner and founder" of UKcarers, an organisation once trumpeted as the "biggest independent board for carers" is caught out bullying carers and then blatantly lying about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ref:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;(1)  My story: Improving life for carers Created 26 Apr 2006&lt;br /&gt;"The message boards are still the most popular part of the site. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We now have around 2,000 users&lt;/span&gt;.
