This thread is like an end of year highlights show of everything that's wrong with the forum these days
Wouldn't these be lowlights?

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.

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.

jesus. someone give Bono & Sting a call.
I'm on it.

So wrong on so many levels.
It is not a thought crime - it is closer to incitement to hatred which is a crime in this country.
Then go to the police.
If you think he's committed a crime, go to the police.
If you wanted to contact the firm to let them know of their potential risk of corporate manslaughter, then fair enough but I still don't see how publishing his details on the internet achieves this. Surely you'd email the firm and let them know their liability and risks with enough information that they can act on (links to the relevant acts and examples of prior cases).
And yet, those who have emailed and posted it in here haven't mentioned corporate manslaughter. So that doesn't appear to be the intent, nope... it's more simple than that, it's just mob rule and this guy who pissed everyone off must pay for whatever his words were.
Do you think the guy is going to hate cyclists more or less by contributing to losing his job? Do you think that will make him more or less of a risk?
Whatever he's done, I've seen nothing in what people have posted to suggest that the way to change his behaviour or protect others is to publish his details online.
What it does do is create a lot of liability for individuals who participate in the online mob.
And you compare doxing someone for thoughts expressed in a private Facebook group, to citations and accounts of bad driving in the real world... these are not the same thing.

Tell me what to read and I will read it. I am not trawling through a 5 page thread trying to work out some obscure (and probably bullshit) point.
Why are you so much happier arguing with people who are calling out a cunt than you are calling out a cunt or challenging him in an adult discussion?
When did you stop beating your wife, Jeez?
If you care about it, don't be so fucking lazy, or maybe you're just dumb?
-
I believe I replied with something along the lines of "he's calling out a different kind of cunt". This still stands. You assert that he is a cunt that needs calling out, many people are calling you out for being a cunt, I assert you are a cunt and are being called out, you are just a different kind of cunt from the facebook dude.
-
I hope that I did not say that. What I hope I said and what I certainly meant (and I will move on to the term arsehole) is that -
(1) He is an arsehole.
(2) People more interest in calling out someone who is calling out an arsehole than they are calling out an arsehole, are themselves arseholes.I hope that I did not imply that people with better things to do than post on this thread are arseholes. People with the time on their hands to stick up for an arsehole driver on a website that pretty much has a raison d'etre of calling out arsehole drivers (see numerous threads on the general forum) seem to me to be arseholes.
And people who think that internet lynch mob rabble rousers are arseholes? Where do they sit on your spectrum of arseholery?
-
And why exactly do you think that?
Because you are being a cunt.

Where is this mob you talk of? I seem to be pretty much alone here.

dont worry, Google will sell the Syrians some attack drones who will then blow up FB server farms in Oregon or whereever and then due to the current economic collapse in europe we will not be able to afford to drive cars and trucks, then we will ALL be riding bicycles, with great happiness.
