Ah yes, straight from rule 28.3 of the Cycling Trolls' Guide:

"28. If you are arguing with someone who has the truth on their side, it is important to distract from the matter which is being debated in any way you can, as this is preferable to admitting that you've lost the argument. Some common ways of doing this are as follows.

=2E..

28.3. Make generalised, irrelevant, completely unproven slurs towards your opponent. The accusations don't have to be true: in fact, it's often more hilarious if they're not. Some examples of such troll- slurs are:

- Making out that your opponent has been banned from driving (e.g. Guy Chapman, uk.rec.cycling, April 2008).

- Making out that your opponent hasn't got a driving licence (e.g. Guy Chapman, uk.rec.cycling, April 2008).

- Making out that your opponent is a teenager (e.g. "[Tourist] Tony", Cycle Chat, January 2008; Colin Reed, uk.rec.cycling, July 2008).

Please note that it doesn't matter how ludicrous these slurs are and how easily they can be disproved by your opponent. The point is that you will have distracted your opponent and your readers for long enough that you won't have to admit to being wrong about the subject of the original debate."

In this case, of course, the troll has attempted to distract from the fact that his answer to each of the 9 questions is "a" and he is therefore anti-motorist. Judging from the equally pathetic responses from the other trolls, it seems that their answers are the same. Now there's a surprise.

Still, as with my other urc posts, the point of this thread is that the trolls have yet again been effortlessly exposed as anti-motorist, and try as they might, they simply can't come up with any evidence to the contrary. It's good to have threads like these to cite when a troll next says "I'm not anti-motorist". And of course the whole thing's rather amusing, because lying fuckwit trolls really don't like being exposed for what they are.

Another successful raid on the troll-hole. Now it's time to get out before being overcome by the noxious troll-fumes. God knows what those trolls eat.
