I wouldn't worry about it too much. Spindrift's only posted this in a lame effort to "prove" that he doesn't always blame the motorist whenever there's a motorist/cyclist incident. Unfortunately it's too little too late and his posting history to date confirms the real story.

(And he couldn't even find an incident involving an actual motorist. Even when he's showing that he "sometimes takes the side of the motorist against the cyclist", he *still* can't bear to actually do it; he has to substitute a lorry driver for the motorist instead, and even that was probably a fight for him. He just can't bring himself to support a real motorist against a cyclist for one minute, even if to do so would be to prove a point (or so he thinks).  Hilarious.)
