Kirsty Boden-Another silly little girl who wants to ram cyclists off the road

[w00hoo_kent]

maybe the ITV 4 cycle show should do a piece on this sort of thing?

Good idea, I wonder if it's the downside of cycling getting popular. While those who are in to it are, generally, happy about the increase in numbers and visibility, that visibility means more people who bikes annoy are talking about it and ill thought through conversations down the pub become dangerous attitudes on the road (so what if I side swiped you?) or inflammatory tweets on the keyboard...

I would like to 2nd @CarlP, this is a good idea.
How do we apply pressure to tv channels like this folks ? bare in mind I am not tech or media savvy.

The Cycle Show has a facebook page which, presumably, the producers look at occasionally:

https://www.facebook.com/thecycleshowtv

A few polite messages on there with a link or two to the story might do the trick.

Thanks Pale Rider, I won't join facebook though so I will have a look if I can tweet or mail them.

Don't blame you for that, I've never posted anything, not least because I don't really understand it.

Also, facebook is notorious for not letting you delete an account, so if you do get into a pickle it's very hard to rub it out and walk away.

Ms Boden may have found that, there's a Kirsty Boden facebook page which was started in 2009 but has no entries on it.

I'm no expert, but it looks to me as if the Ms Boden concerned has deleted everything she is able.

Might not be the same lass, of course.

I'm entirely in agreement with all the people saying she should get the book thrown at her for this one, but ... sexist attitudes much?

yes, that matches her Bebo page - http://archive.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=974973655

There's an email address for her on the Bebo page but it's probably not a current one - she hasn't visited Bebo since 2010

Damn, if only we knew a digital media specialist...

Well she is supposed to be media savvy :-)

Agreed she shouldn't have written that but isn't this thread moving uncomfortably towards stalking or just plain revenge?

....or maybe a lesson in how social media works and the effects of it?

As a relative newbie here the speed with which these become witch hunts is a little unsettling I'll agree. I guess I just chalk it up as a good example of what the new connected age has given us...

Ms Boden tweets in order to get a response as part of her non-job.

Some strictly online-only grief is a proportionate response to that tweet.

In other words, you reap what you sow.

Yes. You need to be very careful about what you publish; I heard an internet security bloke on R4 discussing how our personal data might be misused in future years and when asked what advice he would give to anybody contemplating joining Facebook or Twitter or any other social media site, he replied: "We have no idea what the future holds so my advice is: don't. Just don't."
