Why do you post here?

I would like to know, quite simply, why each poster posts here. This
is aimed at the trolls more than the (actual) cyclists, but I'd be
interested to hear from everyone.

I post here because, shock horror, I am interested in discussing
cycling in the UK. (A naive person who hadn't read this newsgroup may
naturally assume that that is why everyone posts here, but alas, we
know differently...)

Spoken like the true troll you are.

I used to post here because I have enjoyed in the past being a cyclist
for many years but latterly I have become more aware of how exposed to
death and injury vulnerable cyclists are on our roads, where priority
is given to traffic flow over and above road safety, and how the
dangerous car-culture mob has been allowed to grow and dominate
virtually every aspect of British society, including this cycling
newsgroup.

Also, as a person who has been hospitalised three time so far by
drivers, I gradually at first became more aware of the world wide
campaigning against the dominance of the car and which I like to think
I am now a part of.

So all the anti-cyclist trolls who post here, watch out!

I post here to take the **** out of militant cyclists and/or God squad.
It's very satisfying, especially when they get wound up and post a entire
essay in reply to me.

Do you realise just how much you sound like your portrayal of Simon
Mason, but on the 'other side'? 'I post here to poke fun at trolls',
'It's their own time they're wasting', etc. The reason you hate him so
much that you turn up to his company's AGMs to smear him is because
deep down you fear that you're exactly like him. There's a thin line
between love and hate, Jonathan (if indeed that is your name).

Taken anyone's unsubstantiated word about anything lately?

Yes, I think we've found a suitable successor to Mason, now that he's ****ed
off.
