Thanks for the responses.

Hamlet, if I had created a scene, it would have just resulted in either termination or a demand to see the shrink that much more quickly. They were TRYING to induce a fight. Management used my much more diplomatic efforts to answer their antics as the basis for the demand to enter into psychiatric treatment. They had no real issue with my job performance or behavior, so they ganged up to create a slim pretext. GT is apparently determined to clear its offices of smokers like me. If I were a bar tender, I'm sure it never would have been an issue.

Just look at the video. He coughs right as he passes my door. I wouldn't have gone to the trouble and risk to capture it on tape, if he and others hadn't been exhibiting similarly obnoxious behaviors for weeks before that. At least you can see that what I was reacting to wasn't simply imagined.

As far as my AFAFA site goes, I'm sure that it would seem to the casual observer as being paranoid delusions. That just goes with the territory. The techniques (including the group pressure tactics in the workplace) are designed to seem in the reporting like paranoid delusions. And obviously, that aspect worked on you guys. Noone believes in them until they're hit by them. The sorts of harassments I described at AFAFA have been in use for decades. Gloria Naylor, author of The Women of Brewster Place, is also a targeted individual, one of many that I have met. Recently, she wrote '1996' describing her experiences. Ted Gunderson, former agent in charge of the Los Angeles field office of the FBI, is another targeted individual, one whom I have met. Julianne McKinney, another targeted individual and a member of the Association of National Security Alumni, is also an acquaintance. We're doing our best to lobby for exposure of the harassment techniques described at AFAFA and for laws protecting citizens from them. But our government is at least as determined to keep them.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that your average smoker isn't getting pounded with those sorts of harassments (workplace and otherwise). But if any of you ever are, you'll know where to begin to look for some answers. All the best.
