Please can you also remind the other poster who posts off-topic
material to do the same.

No.

I dislike Doug intensely.
====================================

And you like Mr. Mason so you consider it acceptable for him to make
off-topic posts but not Doug. That's not very even-handed is it?

No, I don't know enough of Simon to say I like him, but I certainly
don't dislike him and he posts a shed-load more on-topic stuff than
many others in here so I don't worry about other stuff as I think his
heart is in the right place for the group ..

Just a shame his brain isn't...

I only posted loads of on topic stuff to deal with the trolls at
first.
Since they have learned not to reply to all of my copy and paste stuff
I have no need to bombard the group any more as my tactics have worked
and the troll activity is drastically reducued.

Heh, I didn't mean the first sentence to be disparaging to you at all,
I don't actually 'like' anyone on usenet. I _DO_ actively dislike a
few and abhor just a couple .. most posters I'm ambivalent to because I
_know_ very few. Those I do like I have also met IRL and can make a
more balanced judgement about. I have never had any issue with your
posting, whether the amount or the quality .. I have sometimes
disagreed with you, and you with me, but that's argument and
disagreement, and can be discussed relatively humanely and politely,
it's certainly not hostility .. which I think is the difference between
most normal people and the likes of JMS, NuxxBar, Handyman et al who
come here simply to wind cyclists up, they play like children. (well,
'cept for NB who's a complete ****wit)

I'll reply or post articles to, for and in response to anyone who I
feel like, or whose article sparks something in me or affects me. If
that means I post with the views of a cyclist, so be it, if I post as
an off-roading 4x4 driver, then so be it, if I post as a caravan towing
holidaymaker, then so be it, I often post just as however I feel that
day, regardless of what I normally feel, or the group to which I'm
posting ...

I'm not just one 'thing' I have many spheres of influence in my life
and would hate to think I'm being pigeon-holed .. especially in real
life .. but Usenet's mostly just fun and an 'extra' interaction with
people of mostly differing views to my normal sets of friends.

People didn't respond because most of the posts from you were utter ****e -
of little interest to anyone but yourself. Do you really think people are
interested in what you had for breakfast? That is clearly off-topic for a
group which is meant to be about cycling, not your diet or stories clearly
chosen by you to demonise drivers.

You were and still are one of the biggest trolls in this newsgroup.

How is your legal action going against your opponents?

Same here, I will engage with anybody who is civil and reasonable, but
will not put up with constant foul personal verbal attacks as they are
just tiresome to read.
And of course, malicious letters to my employer will be dealt with by
the relevant authorities.

You are wrong of course, as usual. Helmets are related to cycling. Some
people want cyclists to be made to wear helmets, in which case it logically
follows that other persons at risk should wear them too. In fact, if it is
obligatory for cyclists to wear helmets than everyone else who is out and
about on our roads should be made to wear them also. If helmets can be shown
to save lives then why not make everyone wear them? We are used to pavement
motorists crashing into houses while putting pedestrians and pavement
cyclists at serious risk and that is reason enough surely? Nowhere is safe
from crashing motorists.
