I spent a year on pre-trial diversion probation for a supposed
threat against the phone company when I was drunk online. They kept trying to charge me over $200 that I didn't owe and the left hand never knew what the right hand was doing and they would never cancel it and
threatened to shut me off and take me to court. I wrote a message about the crazy feelings it was making me have in the online support forum and that I felt like I was going crazy. This got interpreted as a
threat. I could of fought it and won but pre-trial diversion was easier.
BTW: I'm buzzed now, but I REALLY don't drink much. Just a coincidence.
