The psycho London dentist

 Unexpected readings in a Couchsurfing forum

Long ago one John, a strange London dentist, was harassing me so much online in a gay and lesbian hosting topic I had to stop participating. He was obsessed  in having me "justify", "clarify" what I was writing. I was not allowed to dissent. It is is a pity to needstop participating in a thread not to be permanently assaulted. I would have flagged him (reported him) but I do not go for this kind of practice. After all these discussions are no more than some air in the wind even though  if it is kind of frustrating to suffer these diktats. It is a pity also when someone like me in a topic like gay and hosting and knowing a lot  about the issue has to give way to someone who knows only in theory, at least officially... Like so many members John loved to write  in long tirades to impose his point of view on topics like politics, environment. A coincidence? Lately we learnt this problematic person sent a private mail to one of the  Couchsurfing members about group members psychiatric issues... 

"John, shortly after I joined this group, you contacted me on your own initiative by private message to inform me that a very significant proportion group members had psychiatric issues.
I won’t quote (for now) the wealth of psychiatric terms you used to describe the pathologies of group members you have never met.
[For the record, John also identified a handful of people he thought were worthy of being listened to.]

 What was the basis, John, for your statement that multiple group members had psychiatric problems,and listing many of those problems?
Do you have more exhaustive information about your fellow group members than I have about Trump?"

As for me I always thought John was a psychotic (as well as closet gay from what some posts in a Gay Lesbian hosting world thread suggest). Actually by discouraging all contributors John killed the topic.
