2 out of 3 drivers like cyclists

A youtube clip showing that, in this instance, 2 out of 3 motor
vehicle drivers will support a cyclist with a damaged bike. Meanwhile,
1 out of 3 motor vehicle drivers will think nothing of crushing a
bicycle and fleeing the scene.

Encouraging to see car drivers gang up on potential killers within their
ranks. Clear evidence though that some motorists will happily leave
cyclists for dead in the gutter.

Is there any point in trying to take this group back? How many people on
here would like to do so?

Probably not many. The fact is though that some people don't like
posting on moderated groups, mainly because moderators are mini-Hitlers
usually.

I do seem to recall though being able to come on here once and have (or
read) interesting discussions about cycling topics.

They certainly are, telling others what they can and can't post.

You and the rest of the trolls can post whatever you want, and you do.
But, like using the squelch on a radio ham set, you can't blame people
who want to discuss cycling issues for trying to come up with a coherent
strategy to filter out the 'noise'.

The most coherent strategy would be to use a killfile, but you seem
unwilling or unable to do so unless everyone else does, which means
populating their killfiles with names that *you* suggest. You just want to
control who gets their posts read and who doesn't, that's all.

Anyone is welcome to suggest anything on here, including sharing a
suggested killfile list. If I do so then I promise you will be on it.
The idea in so doing will be to encourage others to not engage with
people like you so that sensible threads are not ruined by trolling
seeping in through quotes.

At the moment he's doing better than you for intelligent reasonable
discussion.

And so will you. The only difference between us is that I like driving and
you prefer cycling, that seems to be the important issue for you but it
doesn't make the general tone or useleseness of our posts any different.
Whether they identify with one of the words in the name of a newsgroup or
not, a troll is a troll is a troll.
