9, me to then again I am a bit thick. I only read it back again and could see it could have been the way intended.

I hope the Ducati driving a***hole gets the law thrown at him, I have to say had I been in the vicinity of the other plonker involved I would had words with him. Cycling on mobile seems daft enough let alone filtering in London streets..

This is all well and good but he's been identified and the matter passed to the police.

I think the various web detectives' time would be better spent identifying the victim so he can decide what he wants to do, if anything.

This isn't about identifying him. This was a response to the suggestion that we only have the username to go on for the other forum postings. I am simply stating that if you need the identity of the other accounts confirming so you can attribute the comments to the same man, without any shadow of a doubt, then that is how to do it. Please don't read any more into my reply other than I was addressing the question that the two accounts might not be the same person. They are.
 
ATTENTION

I did tell you to watch out for "Cindy Lastman", "Syndney Wastanki" and "Sydney Weatherman", didn't I :smile:

Okay, my mistake.

Not wanting to labour the point, but the reason people are angry about this is that they know this is at least his 3rd incident (self-confessed on various blog posts) where a cyclist has come off his bike. He's also continually expressed his disdain for cyclists and even posted about his intentions only to stop for pedestrians crossing zebra crossings etc, not people *on* bicycles. The police won't see this. The police won't take this into account. If they do anything it will be a slap on the wrist as he passes it off as an accident (and didn't he mention that the cyclist was on the phone!) and that will be the end of it. He'll still be riding around out there with his prejudice against cyclists until we have hit number 3,4,5,6... this is not about whether the victim wants to take this further, this is about seeing that he's a danger, from his own self-incriminating video and the frame of mind he has in the run up to this incident (which is shown in the video as soon as he starts harping on about running red lights, something which the cyclist in the video hadn't done). He had absolutely no remorse for the poor sod knocked off his bike. If this were an accident most normal people's first reaction would be shock and apologies. There was neither of these. Just a look of disgust at the wheel of the bicycle stuck in the motorbike, an immediate blaming of the cyclist for being on the phone (despite that having to impact on what happened at all). There is a legitimate feeling from those commenting on this forum that he needs to be punished for this and experience tells all of us (I am guessing) that nothing significant will come from the police as a result of any investigation.

Indeed, and that is why my sense of natural justice leads me to make, er, contingency plans.

BTW, snappy new screen name!

Speaking Sense here. Even thought I cannot pronounce your name. Memorable :smile:

Maybe we can get back on track? The "He said, She said, You said" is getting a little silly. Actually a lot silly. Stop over analysing every full stop and comma please.

Do you have links to these?

Surely the skill of a good writer/editor is producing text that cannot be misinterpreted, not in producing text that is only understood in the way it was meant if people read it 'properly'.

I, too, spend all my working day (and some of my hobby time!) working with text. I'm happy to take the advice of the development editors, series editors and copyeditors that work on what I produce, if what I have written can be misinterpreted.

we are all able to write an ambiguous statement, and grab the wrong end of the stick... but the real sin here is in suggesting that a 'certain poster' may have written an ambiguous statement, which is dangerous ground to tread.
