Facebook I hate cyclists group infiltrated!

Yeah, we're going to kill and eat him but not tell his boss.

tl;dr

Being entitled to your opinion seems to be shorthand to being able to express whatever outmoded backward ill-informed ignorant bilge pops up in you dullwit brain.

So bollocks to everyone being entitled to their opinion.

There was a news bit from Scotland about some hairdresser who's a secretary of the NBU (or whatever it's called) and also an utter moron. She said that she wants to establish a fascist regime for that very reason - that you're not allowed to speak up your mind anymore and at the same time because people voice to many opinions and opinion should be one (a fascist and racist one).

ooh...

Yes, the Albanian Flu-buster™...

"if cyclists just stayed out of my way then we would not have any problem"

That's what I felt yesterday when some high visibility ATB warrior "wanked me off" and repeatedly called me a cunt when I let a waiting car from incoming traffic to turn right (and cross the path of the cycle lane).
Stupid cunt dressed in some waterproof hi-viz overalls like he is about to descend into an radioactive sewer. Some people...

You have no proof that there is a correlation between what he has said and what he would do.

ahem

I don't think 'cyclists' is the socially acceptable term anymore...

fuck, I better check my privileges...

i was so wankered at that point in the evening. aram had to explain to me what went on the next day.

not my finest moment.

Are you saying that I have no right to mess with anyone's employment or is it this case only and where do you draw the line?

If someone was on the net saying that they were a teacher and hated kids and implying that if they weren't covered head to foot in a burqa he might well sexually abuse them then I would argue that anyone who did not report that person was scum. I hope that you would agree.

I am not sure that expressing the opinion that you hate cyclists and implying / saying that you don't care about their safety and implying / saying that you are a shit driver is much better.

You can't just sack someone because of their opinion. He would only get sacked if the boss thought it was right AND had a legal basis to do so. Most expressions of opinion would carry no risk of being sacked, it is only in extreme cases where the risk lies.

You can only get to the idea that he doesn't care about their safety by stretching his words to an extreme. What he actually says is that if he crashes taking evasive action to avoid a cyclist, he'd like to be able to claim on their insurance, although he says it inarticulately and dressed up in hyperbole and bluster.

But you'd much rather take offence so that you can get all riled up and join an internet lynch mohat he actually says is that if he crashes taking evasive action to avoid a cyclist, he'd like to be able to claim on their insurance.

BTW, your hypothetical example is just as much a hyperbolic exaggeration as anything that the bloke published on Facebook, and about as honestly-intended a question as "When did you stop beating your wife?"

ahem

I don't think 'cyclists' is the socially acceptable term anymore...

Motorally challenged.

Yes Lebowski! Long time. How long you been here?

Wow. Is that in all cases. you are accountable for how people interpret what you say?

No one can ever crack a joke again.

no, I'm playing your game of taking things said to just past the logical extreme so I can have an argument on the internet.

fml

hehe.

badum tish!

I think we should change Jeez's name to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_absurdum

I am not offended. I think he is a cunt and I like it when cunts get their comeuppence. This is really not rocket science. You would rather stick up for a cunt than stick up for someone calling out a cunt. In my book there is a strong argument that this makes you look like a cunt.

I hate cunts especially when they do not give a fuck about the safety of cyclists.

I also think that he is (or is at least perilously close to) inciting hatred and violence.

I gave an extreme example and invited you to draw the line where you thought that it should be. You would report a self-confessed paedophile teacher I presume? Where would you draw the line? Would you report someone who admitting stealing a biro from work? I doubt it. What about £100,000? I'd hope that you would report this. Where does an admission of theft from your boss move from being harmless to being worthy of reporting?

I'm not playing your game of deciding where the line should be drawn so that you can pretend this guy passed it. He wrote some disagreeable stuff you don't like, so you want to hound him out of his work. I think that's pretty distasteful. Don't confuse this with a real life example of malfeasance, 'cos this ain't it and I won't be drawn into your facile comparison.

By the way, are you calling most of everyone else a cunt by association for thinking that the internet lynch mob is pretty pathetic?
