Daily Mail in cycling shocker!

I can't believe this forum has written all these marvellous mild curses, pages and pages of them I don't have time read them all. I think Superprecise and Ehren Fried chicken deserve special commendation to the furtherance of this growing phenomenal art form.

Well done. Lovely, super smashing great. I love this forum.

I hope James Martin fails to realise that he has inadvertently help start the marvellous craze sweeping this thread.

"the incredible hulk" Y fronts.

I have some of these!

I like what you did there Skully. Had me fooled.

I think is only writing that message cause is being advise to do so, not because he means it. If he really does want to take it back, he couldn´t just go on saying it was nothing but an (utterly failed) attempt to humour. Obviously he had shit from every single organ of media that he´s related to already, which forced him to somehow send out some sort of apology. To me he´s still a** ÜBER CÜNT**!

A nice comment on the Guardian article caught my imagination. Me too - I had no idea who this twerp was 'til yesterday.

Never heard of him. So now I have. So he wins.

That´s obvious, right now he must be laughing to all of this... Cunt.

na - too easy

I know, But I was expecting you to Be Aggressive you Jizzlobber

I hope he can't find the TV adapter for his Playstation when he really wants to kick back and play FIFA.

To those who registered aliases pretending to be James Martin, be warned that next time you do so without adequately and clearly communicating unambiguously that you are in fact an alias and a caricature... that I will take soem action that at the very least removes the ability for you to create aliases, and at the worst (depending on what you posted as the alias) might involve going nuclear on you.

From the rules:

Any accounts registered must not be used deceitfully. By this we mean that you may not pretend to be someone other than you are for deceptive purposes. Further, any famous people registered must be clearly seen to be a caricature and not an attempt to pass yourself off as that person. Finally it is not acceptable to pass off aliases as real people, and to that extent you must avoid posting in the New Members thread or other places where you may pass the alias off as being real. Generally, aliases must be at least vaguely recognisable as an alias.

I basically want to avoid all scenarios in which legal action can be taken for the forum accommodating posts which can clearly be damaging to the people involved. And sure, these people may well be loosely tongued idiots, but I would bet that their lawyers are not.

You are certainly very free to create aliases that are very clearly caricature and spoof, and to use this alias for satirical purposes. But when posts suggest that the identity is real, then I will act.

Unfortunately today, several of the aliases were passed off as real and that forces me to act. All of the aliases today have been nuked, as have their posts. But those behind the aliases, you just get this warning to be aware of this in future... satire fine, passing-off not fine. Be very sure that no-one at all can be left in any doubt that what you are doing is satire.

I hope when he's pulling crackers this Xmas he only wins one and it's the one with the 2 pieces of twisted metal puzzle in it.

Dude - I am just a man.

Malibu, just in case you don't realise... making me the target isn't a smart move. Perhaps time to take a break for the internet for 15 minutes?

@Velicio

So for legal reasons we are allowed to call him a cunt, but can't pretend to be him and be a cunt or call myself a cunt.

I can deal with that my man.

James Martin is a Cunt!

I hope he finds out his brother's name is Chris and sings in a middle of the road pop band that is not very good

You can even pretend to be him... but, and this is the key part, it must be really obviously satire/spoof/caricature.

The problem with the internets is that you can't see the person behind the post. So I can't see that it's not him, and nor can anyone else. So faced with what appears to be an identity that could plausibly be him (or whoever), and then reading the words posted... it's natural to think that the person actually said that stuff.

And that is where there's an issue. Because if the reader knows it's satire, then not a problem. But if they don't 'get' that, then the problem is that the words are now attributable to the person in question.

And within the context of the posts in this thread, that would mean that James Martin was actually further seriously damaging his career. If we think it's real... it can truly have real world consequence, causes damages.

And at that point, this place can be sued and it will vanish. Because even with the currently healthy cash pot, there are no funds to fight a legal battle we didn't want.

So if you're going to alias, then it must be explicitly clear that it's satire. Not just in one post, but whenever you say something.

An easy way to deal with this is to quickly photoshop up an avatar that puts that across. James Martin with the word "satire" or "not really" at the bottom.

Just make it really clear.

Then you can do what the hell you want.

So it's not a "don't make aliases". It's a "don't pass off yourself as someone you're not". And if you're clear about it being satire and spoof, then you're not.

What did he say? Need flash for the link.

Is that realy you [SIZE=5]Velocio[/SIZE] ?

Jesus, Malibu don't you know who you're playing with here? VB will END you, and I'm not even talking about the internet...

Whatever happened to:

regarding the the tesla roadster article...
May i take this opportunity to apologize for any offence i have caused through the article in last weekend’s mail on sunday. It was never my intention to offend the many cyclists who share our roads across the country. What was intended to be a humorous piece was clearly misjudged. Further more i do not condone any form of reckless driving.

Once again, i am sincerely sorry for any upset caused in relation to this article.

"Whenever I drive to London ... without fail a cyclist will rap on my window and make some holier-than-thou comment, before zooming off through a red light where he knows I can't get him," Martin, 37, wrote.

I think he can expect quite a bit more of that.

The register article says "cunt"

marvellous.

He also obviously cant cook to save himself... look what he's done to this... whatever the fuck it is:
