It's bad enough that he stated a banned point of view in one thread, but to do it in *two*.... No wonder there have been so many calls for moderation, to stop such terrible things happening. (Good job such calls will amount to nothing, like they always do.)

You like people getting in motorists' way don't you? Can't have them having it too easy...their frustration must be maximised, to punish them for daring to drive when you don't want them to.

What is the problem with wanting to get in front of a slow person when there's miles of unused roadspace in front of them? Who would want to keep them sitting behind the slow person except a spiteful person, a busybody, a car-hater or a control freak?
