You are joking of course. He will never, ever, ever do the decent thing unless there's something in it for him and it won't involve him losing any face. No doubt that kind of arrogance, and point blank refusal to accept blame or concede any kind of point, is what has made you (and countless others) killfile him.

Ah yes: a fair hearing, innocent until proven guilty...great and ancient English principles which any civilised and reasonable person would want to uphold. But then we are talking about Chapman, and we know that he is quite happy to disregard such principles whenever it's convenient to him (this is one example, the "nuisance calls" is another, and then there's the fact that according to him and the other car-haters, any driver who is in court accused of speeding is automatically guilty from the off).

Possibly, but it's hard to feel too sorry for him frankly. Unfortunately his behaviour is not limited to simply expressing his opinions, and he has a track record of doing all sorts of unpleasant things in order to stop other people from expressing their opinions.

The OP may be "wrong", but if anyone does deserve that treatment then it's someone like Chapman (not that many people, thankfully, are like him). And if it's true that all those details were already available online then anyone who was serious about misusing them somehow would have done so already. (Oh, sorry, they have: the "nuisance calls", which is another one of those things that Chapman supposedly has "evidence" for, but for some reason he won't make that "evidence" public. I'd love to know what the "evidence" is: sound files that he has cobbled together himself?  The mind boggles.  But whatever it is it's going to be *far* from conclusive.)
