I know of one case where a crackpot kept suing a neighbour over a trivial boundary dispute that he just kept losing. Every time he lost (and was faced with a whopping bill for costs) he blamed his misfortune not on the obvious fact that he was a loony, but on the dreaded JMF - the Judeo-Masonic Faction - of which his friend and fellow loony, James Todd, posted so volubly on the Usenet newsgroup uk.legal and which - of course - I parodied mercilessly!
When he lost his final appeal, he barricaded himself inside the house, with cans of petrol to throw over any bailiffs who might try to evict him. He pulled up floorboards to create traps and, armed with his not-so-trusty chainsaw - it wouldn't start when he needed it - and a blunt, decorative, Japanese sword, he remained in a bedroom ready to fight off invaders. He was duly arrested and sent to gaol for assault or ABH; his defence was hardly improved by his misguided comments about what he presumed were the judge's Masonic connections.
As was predicted, Maurice Kellett (for it was he) ended up in bed and breakfast accommodation on his release from prison and with so few remaining possessions that he could keep them in a shoebox under his bed. (link 1, fatuous link 2)
