It was pretty clear from the subject line what it was about. By common agreement, this is the most anti-motorist newsgroup, so when I want to ask anti-motorist bigots what they think or why they think something, this is where I do it. I don't usually get much in the way of honest answers back, it's true, but at least I try.

Maybe there should be a uk.rec.anti-motorist or .anti-car, but the problem is that those who are anti-motorist tend to deny it (except Doug...I may vehemently disagree with him, but at least he tells the truth about what he thinks). Whether they're ashamed, or they know they can't defend their opinion, or both, I'm not entirely sure. But if the likes of Spindrift and Fuckface (Crapman) would admit the screamingly obvious (that they hate motorists), and form an anti-car newsgroup, there would be somewhere more appropriate to debate the politics of motoring with them.
