• Normally I'd not question the judgement of you our glorious leader but isn't this exactly what you threatened to do to Lynchman?

    Yup. I did indeed threaten to do that, and then didn't have to. Would I have? I still don't know either and I'm glad I didn't really have to consider doing so, though I sadly think I would've been put in the position if I hadn't been so believable in saying I would.

    I do think there is a difference between those who have already committed some act, such as a deception, fraud, scam, etc... and those who merely communicate that they are thinking about it.

    In the first case it's a case of bolting the gate after the horse has bolted in the best tradition of horse-bolting hindsight. Perhaps someone else can be spared the experience by the information being out there. If it doesn't deter the individual behind it, it at least arms the other parties with knowledge to not fall for it.

    But to dox someone when nothing has happened? To treat it as a thought-crime. How dare anyone think anything, and let's work to get the guy sacked, etc.

    That's pretty out there, a step or ten too far. Hell, none of us would survive that criteria were we the target of it.

    I've not seen the Facebook page. So I can only react according to the things posted here and without context. But if there is a guy, full of bravado, allegedly stating that he wants to kill cyclists... tell the police. Ranting on the internet does nothing to help.

    This thread is like an end of year highlights show of everything that's wrong with the forum these days

    Pretty much. The popcorn crew have shown once again the worst parts of mob mentality online.

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised we're on page 5 by the time I come back to the thread.
