I'd rather Chapman and Spindrift did that than Doug. At least Doug is honest about hating motorists. In fact, what Doug says so closely matches what Spindrift *really* thinks that for a while, I thought they might be the same person, "Doug" being the persona that Spindrift adopted when he decided he needed to tell the truth about being anti- car for whatever reason. But actually, that's an insult to Doug, and it seems that while Spindrift has extensive mental problems, schizophrenia isn't one of them.

I think it's rather unfair that Doug is so much more maligned than Spindrift, and it only happens because Doug kept posting his nonsense on UKT. If Spindrift started doing the same, he'd rightly get *very* short shrift.
