So, Chapman The Queen Troll has finally admitted to hating motorists, and he has also admitted that the reason he likes cameras is because they "encourage" motorists to use other modes of transport by making life unpleasant for them. He therefore wants to keep cameras, despite knowing that they cost lives. Utterly despicable.

Still, now that the motorist-haters have finally, grudgingly told the truth, I think I've achieved what I came here to do. It has been conclusively shown that this newsgroup has been taken over by car- haters, and is uk.rec.anti-motorist in all but name. In other words, I was right all along, though it is unlikely that the trolls will apologise for their vicious, scathing, abrasive comments to the contrary. But what's important is that they've admitted to their twisted hatred, and like Spindrift's addiction, the first step in dealing with a problem is admitting to having it.

I hope that the real cycling advocates here will eventually realise that their cause is hindered, rather than helped, by those cyclists who are constantly at war with motorists, on and off the roads. With any luck, they will soon rise as one and disown the motorist-haters, who will be driven underground, and will be so despised by everyone, no matter what their mode of transport, that they won't dare to go out and give motorists a hard time any more.

And so, with joyous anticipation and unbridled glee, I look forward to a new dawn. I look forward to being able to share the roads peacefully with cyclists and all other road users. I look forward to being able to show kindness and courtesy to all cyclists in the full and certain knowledge that they will return that kindness and courtesy, instead of refusing to do so purely because I'm driving. I look forward to an end to cyclists claiming that speed cameras work when they know that they don't, in the realisation that if they want the law to be enforced with intelligence and discretion when it comes to themselves, that must also be the case with drivers. I look forward to us all getting along in peace and harmony, helping and supporting each other without discriminating on the basis of mode of transport, with the wretched and damnable motorist-haters but a distant memory.

In a generation or two, when our children and grandchildren are told stories of hate and discrimination towards motorists simply because of their mode of transport, they will be rightly horrified. But they will only be stories, and nothing more, because of the wonderful gift that we will have given them: a world without motorist-haters. Let's all strive to make such a world a reality, starting right now. I know we can do it together, and to those who will help to achieve such a world: thank you, thank you, a million times.

All the best, and may life bring you much happiness
