    If, OTOH, you were just attacking him to get back at his son for
    pointing out that Smith was pushing dubious figures (as he was,
    according to many, and I concur) then it just shows you to be a rather
    sad individual.

    On the grounds that only "rather sad individuals" make personal
    attacks on people who can't defend themselves


    Smith was given every opportunity to respond to this criticism when he
    was alive, and failed to do so in any satisfactory way. His followers
    are still pushing the same flawed arguments, but rather than backing
    them up with spurious claims they just tell critics not to speak ill of
    the dead. What a bunch of stupid pathetic tossers they are.

    I'm not aware that he trolled Usenet, made a career out of lying, or
    facilitated the harassment of those who disagreed with him. Do feel
    free to provide any evidence you have of his doing so, though.

    It also seems unlikely that any of Smith's close relatives are actually
    reading this. If they were, then possibly the argument that respect for
    their feelings of grief would make this a bad time to point out just what
    a [censored] Smith was would have some validity, instead of being a pathetic
    excuse to defend his behaviour.

    Somewhat contradictory, you should only debate one point, but if you
    debate one point you are a troll.
    They get really upset about trolls on their website, yet seem quite
    happy to continually try to troll other websites and newsgroups.

    So what is the difference betwen arguement and debate, it sounds to me
    that debate is if you agree with them, and arguement is if you don't.
    How can you properly debate road safety if you just surround yourself
    with yes-men.

    Its all down to you Spindrift, you've been so offensive in the past
    that you've been banned from Safespeed, Pistonheads and caused the
    closure of the Cycling Plus forum. You carry on insulting Paul Smith
    after his death and wonder why his partner doesn't want you on the
    forum. Are you thick, monumentally insensitive or mentally ill?

    1/

    You've claimed this before. I asked for examples of anything offensive
    I posted on the safespeeding website. Still waiting.

    2/

    The last time I posted there was on the "Some won't let it lie"
    thread. I asked polite questions about the safespeeding policy and
    Smith's qualifications. I was called a "[censored]" and was banned and
    the questions deleted. The thread's still there, go check.

    3/

    Not everyone who posts criticism on safespeeding is me. Not everyone
    who disagreed with Smith is me. Not everyone with a counter view is
    me. Your paranoia is showing again.

    4/

    Cycling Plus was amalgamated and all the posters remain on Cycle Chat
    and Bike radar, you can find me on both.

    5/

    The Cycling Plus forum and employees of Future Publishing suffered a
    barrage of abuse from safespeeding posters, mostly those swiss loons.
    Emails and phone calls were sent to Future staff at home, harrassment
    and intimidation from safespeeding posters disrupted the forum and the
    safespeeding posters admitted as much, i can post the quote if you
    like, this is from your pretend copper "In Gear":

    Kriss posted as NTC - my wife and she is a vet - honest. "tame" - er
    yeah - er- right - er - um .....
    I am Mike - and I was the Frenzied Feline and only registered as FF to
    bail her out of trouble...
    We did not post anything as this pair afte last January when we were
    finally locked up in the dungeons here.
    We did not know these guys waded in after us - did not think anyone
    would to be honest....

    Brandy - Yikes - where do I start?
    We were not sure ourselves for some time - guy we suspected was
    working at times some of these posts were registered onto the site.
    Seems he roped in some of his chums So we had Swiss Andreas (lawyer)
    and his pal also called Andreas (German originally from Dresden also a
    lawyer and now working abroad again) and a UK lawyer chum called
    Andrew. Honestly knew nothing for a while and of course they started
    to compete with each other out smart-alec each other - made it worse
    really. (Oh dear... you'll all go ballistic....mercy please)

    LLS? Billy-Bob - Pal of yet another of the Swiss - English and an
    accountant - lives in a very pretty Lancashire hill village, He really
    is that tall by the way.
    Sport Mad - Billy-Bob's cycling chum - Willi - Swiss and an
    accountant. He nearly did come a cropper at a pinch point and got into
    a tizz at a large roundabout on his bike.
    Head Boy - Siegfried - eldest of the Swiss males. Lawyer - lives in
    Berlin. Owns two properties over here where he lets out to holiday
    makers - one in Horncliffe and one in Horndean . Some may recall that
    Geography is not his strong point
    So er - now you know. We have no idea who CC is - not one of this
    bunch to my knowledge.

    End quote.

    There you have it Jezza.

    Your own fellow posters admit a campaign of abuse and harrassment
    using multiple poster ID's on Cycling Plus. That evidence and
    admission, plus your repeated claims that I'm mentally ill, go a long
    way towards explaining the pro-speeding mindset and the moral
    bankruptcy at the heart of smith's lunatic campaign. Smith was a bully
    and a coward and a fraudster, his toadying acolytes are continuing his
    refusal to engage in debate, as the quote above demonstrates very
    well.

    It is a pity smith did not show any respect to the dead or living whilst
    he was still alive, then you might have a point.

    It was smith who encouraged the use of the recently deceased, and their
    families for speedophiles to get off of speeding tickets.

    He encouraged people to speed, and supported hate campaigns against
    groups trying to reduce speed limits outside schools. His sick website,
    and thus himself, encouraged the running down of teenagers by motorists
    for being in their way.

    However I would not denigrate myself to posting on his sick website.

    There's a thread called "More do-gooders" on smith's website,
    detailing a blog written by a chap who is urgently calling for lower
    speeds in his village.

    Smith allowed his posters to trace the man and post his home address,
    name and phone number on the safespeeding forum.

    That's smith's true colours right there, a coward and a bully.

    Classic, rather than answer the questions here nuxxy runs back to
    safespeeding and claims victory:

    I think the car-hating is the main reason behind the crazed anti-Safe
    Speed sentiment: we dare to campaign to make things easier for the
    motorist, through the removal of speed cameras, which are of course
    very effective at systematically persecuting (or threatening to
    persecute) every single driver bar none (even those who supposedly
    "never speed"😉. What really winds the trolls up is that we're right
    about the cameras not working, and don't they know it. They so
    desperately wanted cameras to succeed, so that the motorists would
    just have to put up with being persecuted, and we've come along and
    burst their bubble. They're shooting the messenger of course, like all
    the best irrational people, since all we're doing is reporting the
    facts.

    The thing that I find most irritating about their motorist-hating is
    the complete denial. Even Spindrift denies that he's anti-motorist.
    When asked whether there are any anti-motorist measures which they
    oppose, he and his ilk claim that there isn't a single anti-motorist
    measure anywhere in the UK. (Quite how they can know that without
    having been at every single council meeting everywhere in the last
    decade, to confirm their given reasons for implementing trafffic
    calming etc, is beyond me.)

    I can only guess that this ridiculous denial is because the motorist-
    haters know that their dislike of cars is illogical and indefensible,
    since you need cars for a significant number of journeys (just ask
    Monbigot). Which poses the question, why be so rabidly anti-motorist
    at all? Wouldn't it be better if they found a cause which they felt
    they could admit to supporting?

    I find it all rather perverse and puzzling. The really strange thing
    is that many of them drive themselves, making them somewhat
    hypocritical to say the least (although Spindrift doesn't seem to
    drive, and he quite possibly doesn't cycle either; I guess he uses
    public transport to get between Internet cafes). If only all drivers
    would stop feeling "guilty" about their need to drive and start
    sticking up for themselves and their fellow motorists. There's 32
    million of us (I think) so all the nonsense would surely have to stop
    then. It really is about time the cycling trolls and the authorities
    were made to stop spitefully picking on us just for trying to get
    around.

    "never speed"😉. What really winds the trolls up is that we're right
    about the cameras not working, and don't they know it. They so
    desperately wanted cameras to succeed, so that the motorists would
    just have to put up with being persecuted, and we've come along and
    burst their bubble. They're shooting the messenger of course, like all
    the best irrational people, since all we're doing is reporting the
    facts.

    The thing that I find most irritating about their motorist-hating is
    the complete denial. Even Spindrift denies that he's anti-motorist.
    When asked whether there are any anti-motorist measures which they
    oppose, he and his ilk claim that there isn't a single anti-motorist
    measure anywhere in the UK. (Quite how they can know that without
    having been at every single council meeting everywhere in the last
    decade, to confirm their given reasons for implementing trafffic
    calming etc, is beyond me.)

    I can only guess that this ridiculous denial is because the motorist-
    haters know that their dislike of cars is illogical and indefensible,
    since you need cars for a significant number of journeys (just ask
    Monbigot). Which poses the question, why be so rabidly anti-motorist
    at all? Wouldn't it be better if they found a cause which they felt
    they could admit to supporting?

    I find it all rather perverse and puzzling. The really strange thing
    is that many of them drive themselves, making them somewhat
    hypocritical to say the least (although Spindrift doesn't seem to
    drive, and he quite possibly doesn't cycle either; I guess he uses
    public transport to get between Internet cafes). If only all drivers
    would stop feeling "guilty" about their need to drive and start
    sticking up for themselves and their fellow motorists. There's 32
    million of us (I think) so all the nonsense would surely have to stop
    then. It really is about time the cycling trolls and the authorities
    were made to stop spitefully picking on us just for trying to get
    around.

    Classic, rather than answer the questions here nuxxy runs back to
    safespeeding and claims victory:

    I think the car-hating is the main reason behind the crazed anti-Safe
    Speed sentiment: we dare to campaign to make things easier for the
    motorist, through the removal of speed cameras, which are of course
    very effective at systematically persecuting (or threatening to
    persecute) every single driver bar none (even those who supposedly
    "never speed"😉.

    What a bizarre bunch of nutters they are. Anyone who isn't capable of
    keeping somewhere near the speed limit, or spotting a speed camera
    before it flashes them, just shouldn't be driving. Maybe they're too
    busy feeling persecuted to pay attention.

    As a motorist and cyclist, I don't see speed cameras, speed limits,

    I'm glad you said (some of) that.
    I don't see vehicle registration and marks, compulsory licensing and

    So how much do you think it would cost to insure and license cyclists, how
    much of that would be administrative overhead, and who would benefit (and
    in what way?)

    It doesn't matter how much it would cost, any more than it matters what
    it costs to license and insure motor vehicles. It is an accident of
    history that we don't already have such a system, but the continuing
    lack of them means that cyclists have very little incentive to behave
    properly out on the highway.

    Such a system would benefit every road user, including cyclists.
