Classic youtube replies

[downfader]

It's weird how many people are unable to conceive of a person cycling when they can afford, or even already have, a car.

It's so tipical... Here. Maybe I should block him, but I want to know his logic...

I think the point is there is no point. They do this to wind others up and even provoke the usual troll-inspired outrage. What is really sad is how the cant concieve how they actually have very little control over other peoples lives. Thats what trolls thrive on, thinking they've made a negative influence to your life or thinking.

Would you believe it but another camera cyclist decided to delete my comments from one of his video's.
I should state I wrote my opinion of the driver but the cyclist seem to ignore that and go on a rant.

He seemed to take offence at me pointing out that after the dangerous driving of the car driver the cyclist committed two minor offences. Firstly overtaking the stationary vehicle closest to the crossing which was stopped to allow pedestrians to cross the road Then secondly, the cyclist rode over the crossing while pedestrians where still on the crossing, his justification, plenty of space and does it all the time.
Not only committing two minor traffic offences but putting themselves back in the firing line for some more bad driving instead of keeping the bad driver in front where he could see them.

I can understand at the time of the incident things can happen but his response suggested he did nothing wrong.

givecyclistsroom's latest upload.

Mmm. I can see that some comments have been deleted. You know who that is don't you?

 

[magnatom]

Oops, Dr Squirrel beat me to it!

It's a fair point, he did go over the crossing whilst a pedestrian was crossing.

We all make mistakes, and it is important if we are going to point out the mistakes of others, that we admit our own.

His reaction there was WAAAAY over the top! Now that guy needs some anger management!!

I assume BRSU stands for Bad Swindon Road Users?

I found the vid you referred to and it seems he's deleted two of his own comments too. What was he saying? Was it past 11pm that this discussion occurred and now he regrets it?

We all do make mistakes, especially when the adrenalin is pumping or ignore a rule because it is safer, such as mini-RAB's, I always take a line which discourages overtaking/undertaking even if not complying with the law.

I have never deleted a comment that disagreed with me or pointed out my mistakes, I have one video where every commenter disagreed with me. I only remove obvious wind up/troll comments, they normally have the words "get a life" with some profanity.

It's actually Bad Swindoom Road Users, Swindoom being a name given to Swindon by some visiting football fans.

He basically seemed to state I was only interested in showing up the cyclists mistakes and ignoring the bad driving, which was completely untrue. He also tried to justify his two minor traffic offences as not being offences at all. Maybe he has realised I was correct about the offences plus looked at my YouTube channel and realised I am not an anti-cyclist nutcase. I have deleted my subscription to that channel.

Now I'm not making a judgment about this particular helmet camera cyclist, but this does highlight an issue. Just as there are good and bad drivers or cyclists, there are good and bad helmet camera cyclists!

I'm the same BRSU. It is very rare for me to delete a post. I only do that if it becomes overly offensive or is inciting violence or insulting my family. I'm a big believer in freedom of speech, but even that has it's limits!

I think I am the biggest critic of my own cycling, I often review my video's looking for something I did wrong or could have done better, for example a pinch point where cars kept squeezing past me, I decided I needed to be in primary earlier to assert my road presence, which seems to have worked or only using the Airzound on motorists, bell for pedestrians.

They've deleted my comment too after having bothered to respond to it, but hey ho its their prerogative.

I cant remember the full post but it was something simple like: 'that was muppet driving although it didnt look to safe to undertake the muppet, Safe Cycling :-)'

If he is deleting comments like that, that is very poor.
