No.

I really don't think so. Doug is clearly misguided when it comes to cars, and IMO rather bitter and jealous towards motorists. But I think it is probably only that issue where he is bananas, and I don't get the impression that he is anything but a decent person in other regards. Without trying to sound patronising, it must really suck being disabled, in ways that I can't begin to imagine, and it's probably fairly standard to develop warped ways of looking at particular related subjects as a result.

There's only one person who currently posts on here who I really think would be likely to do what you say. And we all know who, I'm sure.
