Classic youtube replies

I got this comment to my last video.

(What pedestrian jumps out to the centre of the road/lane?!)

Failure of logic on the commenter's part. There is a great example that this is untrue by another video on youtube:

Its all about looking and how we look.

I saw the dumbass moaning about helmets too.. so I've replied to that too.

Actually.. as a side note I got into a conversation with someone over a rant video he'd made about cyclists in the States. (I put the video on my blog and talked about the mentality)

He made some specious comments that its the cyclist's fault if he takes a corner too fast and takes one out. I replied that its down to him to drive safely and countered some of his arguments (most of which I now forget as it was 1am). His reply was typically daft that (paraphrased) "it aint gonna be me that gets hurt!"

I noticed the next day I'd had a reply to my comment that he needn't take my word for it, it could contact his local Police force and ask how to drive around cyclists. When I clicked on the link I noticed all our converse had been removed.

Do you think I got to him? I know I can be "persistant" at times.

People like that - dont give them the voice, just delete their comments from the videos/profile and block. The last one I had like that I did this to, I then posted "next time be polite - blocked" on their profile and blocked them.

Youtube aint a democracy.

I'm astonished, you should stop going out with a camera to film and criticise everithing and everybody, you are only gonna get more and more frustrated, also I honestly think you are not the experienced rider you think you are, not because of this video but most of the others aswell...and even if I agree with part of you say, I suggest you try to brake some rules sometimes, the unnecessary ones at least, you might enjoy!

 

[downfader]

Gaz, that ones trying the old "break em down" tactic. Oldest troll b*ll*x in the book

 

[BentMikey]

LOL, all very amusing!!

The comments regarding "his business pays for the roads". I love to follow up with "no, his customers pay his wage, which pays for "the road", his taxes else where including his own council tax... his customers also pay their own council tax and taxes so they are paying for the road... NOT the driver"

The way people mention this seems to sound like its the driver/business in question etc - so its always good to taunt them about where their money actually comes from... "get out of the way because I pay your wages!"


btw have you actually sent this to the company? You never know, Tony Hewes might be a real name and one of the drivers (hopefully not the owner of course as that wont help anything).

Yay, got my first troll!

  So R***** B****** of Croughton, who not only drives a coach (Northampton to Chelmsford) but is on the board of South Northants Homes, and is or has been a custody visitor for the local police:
  
  Do you admit carrying a broom on your coach which would use as a weapon against a cyclist?

[magnatom]

Ha! I'm quite impressed how he squirmed out of that one.

Not for use a a weapon as i can handle myself without a broom.No, the broom is to be offered so the cyclist can sweep his friggin' cycle path and use it m'lud.
