    Believe it or not, Reyter, but the link I supplied to you was a legitimate place for the advancement of human rights in Japan, dealing with all sorts of issues, including foreigner issues. I do not know how to interpret your lack of a response. Given your past relations with other members, I am tempted to fear the worst, however.

    I'm sorry, I didnt see it until now. Thanks for that! I looked at it and that is definitely someone else to speak to if I am harrassed by the police again. I will check it more carefully in the next few days. There are only 2 members I had a problem with. One is an unabashed fascist and the otehr a simplistic fool! No problem anymore because I just chose to ignore them. Of course one more can be added to that list now. I will deal with that now and then ignore him too.
