I get that opinions are like arseholes and everybody has one. I just take issue when it's the arsholes giving opinions. Threads like these are the reason I nuked my FB.
Genuine question: How would you feel if this character accidentally 'brushed' or hit you with his motor?
I've never understood why occasionally out riding and there's a tiny non-issue why some people absolutely lose it. Are they the types that start these groups? Do these groups affect some of the weaker minded into teaching us a lesson with dangerous close passes? Or is it (as I pray) just bluster?
I get what Mrak says about this being no different to what most newspapers print but surely that is a reason to at least question it. We know the public hate us, we know the police have little to zero sympathy or understanding, we know the Mayor/TfL don't care, we know the judiciary regard our lives as cheap (when we're dead or injured on one of those stupid contraptions). So where is the line drawn?
