And you say I'm boring. Jesus.

Oh but they will. Just not in stinking troll-pits like uk.rec.anti- motorist (and apparently this group, which seems to have a lot of the trolls from there). Although even that's not true, as you know perfectly well from the likes of Sir Jeremy (but we've seen from this thread that you lot couldn't care less about what was true and what was not).

Can't you understand why someone would enjoy dropping pieces of logic and truth into seas of lies and illogic, and watching the resulting explosive reactions? I find it funny that all I have to do is post dispassionate, true facts about speed cameras et al, and the anti- motorist loonies immediately go ballistic. "Speed kills" and "speed cameras kill" are not equal theories, any more than creationism and evolution: in both cases, any intelligent, informed person knows that the latter is the correct school of thought. In the same way that some enjoy goading creationists and flat-Earthers by posting true things and watching them frantically tie themselves in knots trying to defend untenable positions, I enjoy goading "speed kills" types (especially the ones on here, who aren't just wrong, but know they are wrong, and are complete bastards who want road users to die…personally I think they deserve a lot more than a few usenet posts which are uncomfortably close to the bone). Anyone who's ever felt a wish to disrupt callous, evil people, and have a bit of a laugh at their expense at the same time (and plenty of people do, e.g. 419), knows why I bother posting awkward truths on Troll Central.

> Meanwhile… [plonk]

Big man. I reckon people who obsessively advertise who they've killfiled have small dicks, which is why they insist on showing everyone what large killfiles they've got. But all it really shows is that you don't like reading truths which remind you of how illogical you are about something. Fuckwit.
