Question and poll

[BentMikey]

It's not good karma to purposefully create negativity in a driver. On the other hand, it's probably a good thing to tell them what their mistake was to give them a chance to learn from it. The better and nicer you do this, the more chance of them learning, IME.

If you are aiming to cause them to lose their temper, then maybe it's wrong.

Counter question;-
Is it wrong for motorists to deliberately try to wind cyclists up, to make them lose their temper?

If so, is it wrong for a cyclist to retaliate?
If not, why not?

I haven't got the clue what the answer is to this question.

Under certain circumstances Yes.
Under certain circumstances No.

please don't take this personally but i find this poll, utterly pointless and mind numbingly meaningless...

Q. Is it right or wrong to cause a driver to lose their temper


I don't know about anyone else but i was taught what was right and wrong from a very early age, i'll give you some questions

Q.is it right or wrong to go into a shop and steal somthing.

Q.is it right or wrong to break sombodys house windows to cause the home owner to lose their temper.

WHAT AN UTTERLY RIDICULOUS POLL & QUESTION FROM THE OP

In other words,of course its wrong,but some seem to feel it may be sometimes or may not be sometimes,You have answered the question well,and no i dont take offence to your post,its a good answer.

I think it shows that it IS wrong to intentionally cause upset to others,no matter how much an argument or debate can be splintered into different reasons as to why?
And most people who have been brought up to know right from wrong will know this,as do i and it seems most others do too.
My intention of this poll ,was to hopefully find someone who says it is ok to do this,as i could then have asked why?But as it seems to show,even with reasons given,everyone agrees it is still wrong,and those that dont want to admit it,by not answering the question will agree too,but dont want to be seen to agree with me.so i would ask admin to tell me how to end this poll,as its done its job,and im afraid i dont know how to end it?Thanks to all who took part.

So, in summary, if col wasn't starting this thread in an attempt to show that he's right in another thread where this question is irrelevant, the answer would be that it is wrong to try to provoke drivers. But he is, and the length of this response draws on just some of the issues of the other thread.

col has started his own, separate thread so he can distance himself from the complexity of the reality, get someone who doesn't know what he's really asking to agree with him, and then think he's won some kind of competition.

it is just me, or is it too early in the week to be bothered to understand that in depth.

As usual mr p you seem to assume a lot,i can see what your saying.But my question was a simple one,which was not aimed at anyone or any thing,which i did point out,but you refused to answer,reverting back to this incident each time,even after i had said it wasnt aimed at that,also a good trick you used was to call my opinion on the amber thing wrong,again even though i admitted i was wrong about it,or was it bentmikey?.I dont see whats misleading about the question?As usual you make out some wrong doing because you cant answer a relatively simple question,or dont want to.
Again your using the other threads op as an argument,instead of just answering,why?
Alive and well here

Iv just reread your post,and going on about all those other things you go deeply into,its all a load of confusing stuff,when all im asking is a simple question,but you pretend you cant see it as that,and decide to do your usual,,i think 100% in the poll seems to support that,if you dont believe its wrong,give us reasons why?Or are you going to bang on about how its not your fault if the driver decides to lose his temper.Which has nothing to do with it.

 

[hackbike 6]

Perhaps I will retract my statement of earlier and say it is wrong.

 

[col]

Ok ,lets try and simplify it for you mr p,lets say this is just a question about nothing in particular,have you understood that so far?Lets say its a question that isnt connected to any particular incident,are you staying with it?Now here it is.

is it right or wrong to knowingly cause someone to loose their temper by your actions on purpose?

 

[col]

Alright,who voted right?

I should have known,seeing as he visited to bait
You werent checking if i was still alive were you?

Bump for mr p
Alive and well ta

As usual mr p you seem to assume a lot,

You mean, after multiple contrinutors pointed out that your stance on the other thread was irrational, and that in the context yours was a leading question with no relevance to what happened, it is a complete coincidence that you removed your question from that context and based a poll upon it on the same forum, on the same day?

 

[BentMikey]

LOL! I assume the same as Mr P here. You guys must really have stung Col's ego for him to react like this, IMO.
