Altogether now: "Good old Guy: keep things on the boil."

I thought Ian Smith's post about you rolling around in shit and then complaining about being covered in shit was one of the best posts I've ever seen (it just shows that even the nuttier car-haters can sometimes come up with good, insightful stuff, though of course usually not about transport). He's certainly got your number. How utterly typical of you that you read that post and yet have ardently refused to learn from it one iota (along with the thousands of times before when people have told you much the same thing, albeit not so eloquently).

And you've just rolled in shit *again* in the quoted post. You're never going to give up rolling in shit, because if you did, people might think you were actually somewhat amenable to reason, and you'd rather be covered in shit than have people think that, wouldn't you? Chapman the Car-Hater's his own boss. He does what he sees fit. Even when it's utterly obvious that it's a fucking stupid thing to do, it's still better to do it, just to show people that he's in control and not them.

Everyone, whatever "side" they're on, knows the above is correct. Even you do I suspect. But you're damned if you're going to stop rolling in shit for the mere convenience of others. Why should you?
