That maybe because no one outside the cycling community who hasn't been directly affected by some one being killed on their bike gives a shit about the project, and loads of cyclists don't either. In most peoples eyes its just another thing. Just another petition. Just another campaign, just another chained up bike, just another grave. People just don't give two shits about it. No one I know who doesn't cycle, and even most of those that do (including me) don't care and don't want to. Its just another something.
Thats one of the reasons I don't like the campaign. The other is I think its ineffective and silly. But thats by the by.
As for wishing bad things to a person. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that thats how you feel. Its also made me sorry that I even tried to explain or help you out. If you are just a vindictive little crusader who doesn't give a shit about people then why the hell do you support the campaign thats all about a few people? My boss may not care about your campaign, but then do you care about every campaign? Ever been a little mean to a charity mugger? not cared about advertising that plays on a cause? Ever ignored or binned flyers petitioning for this or that or told your local labour caandidate to leave you alone because you are having your tea? Your campaign gets in peoples faces. They are allowed to hate your campaign for it. You aren't allowed to hate people who happen to have things like your bike or who don't give a shit. Thats life, and you are being uneccesarily nasty.
EDIT: Damn it, I wasn't going to get drawn in. sorry. I just hate this thing that these memorials are sacred and afford rights and privileges that nothing else gets.
No, no, no and no
I get you work at the shop. I get people that work at the shop have had abuse because of the faux ghost bike. I get that the said bike has nothing to do with the ghost bike campaign. What I don't get is this negative response. Ghost bikes represent lives lost, and that should matter to everyone, whether they cycle or not. Sacrality is an individual thing, but at the end of the day we hug this mortal coil as tightly as possible, and that is sacred in itself. Don't disrespect the emotions of the cycling community, and lives we have lost. I think it says a lot about you as a person that you respond in this way.
And no, I don't disrespect other people's campaigns. Tolerance is my watchword. You don't care about others? Then I don't care about you. You try to dress what you're saying up, but all I hear is hate
