Narrative:

Flight had a maintenance write-up while taxiing. Got an anti-skid circuit breaker caution message. Performed anti-skid test and message cleared. Maintenance authority/authorized takeoff without returning to gate to get mechanic to inspect aircraft. Arrived at destination, and maintenance supervisor boarded my plane. I have had 8 write-ups from previous 2 days. Also, chief pilot boarded my plane. We were asked if the write-up occurred during the anti-skid test. The questioning was checking to see if I performed the anti-skid test properly. The test has to be done with the emergency brake off. I consider this harassment and it could affect my mental alertness while I am flying.
