This is not the behaviour of a rational person.
There are, broadly speaking, two kinds of campaigners. There are those who campaign in such a way that brings about gradual, subtle change step by step, and then there are those who want to bang their heads against walls, demand the impossible, create a stir, to try to bring about strong, dramatic change, not necessarily revolutions but nonetheless a rapid transformation. The latter attract a lot of attention but they always fail, because they don't take the general public with them. The former tend to be successful but their success tends to be noticed less. In a sense, you need both. Steve Gough is one of the former. He is clearly obsessed, but oddly enough, obsession and rationality are often perfect twins, and I wouldn't necessarily call him 'not rational' for his obsession. Certainly a very interesting case.

He's not being imprisoned for being naked - He's being imprisoned for breaching bail conditions and ASBOs.
He knows that this will happen when he strolls out of prison in the altogether.
Yet he still does it. To make the same point that he made last time. And the time before. and the time before.
This is not the behaviour of a rational person.
