It's certainly getting that way with some of these comments...

That's a question of perspective, and from theirs yawping off at complete strangers in the street isn't bullying, so by their very own measure to do the same to strangers over the internet surely Can't be either. a standard of behaviour they've chosen themselves to live by so they're in no position to complain when someone else decides to live by the rules they themselves have chosen to adopt.

They do indisputably bully motorists in their videos, often escalating matters to the point where unlawful public order or sometimes VAP acts occur. Go and watch those videos then come back here and explain to the class how its not bullying when they do that, yet it is bullying when someone does the same (actually rather less) to them.

Really?

 

[Drago]

Hold on a mo while I check...

 

[Drago]

Oh dear, he most assuredly does.

 

[glenn forger]

Oh. Right.

 

[Drago]

Not to mention being a hypocrite, as the second video of his I randomly browse shows him rolling through a red.

 

[glenn forger]

Blimey. Well I never.

The OP has, on twitter, accused people of bullying him on another CC thread. He did not mention this on the thread in question, nor am I aware of any moderator action being taken which means he either didn't report it, or he did report it and it was deemed by the moderators to be acceptable. He is continuing to post in a forum against which he has made spurious accusations. He has also elevated himself to the position of self-proclaimed spokesperson for cyclists with appearances on TV and such. He is aware of the opinion some people on this forum have of him, yet chooses not to defend himself in this arena.

This forum is being trolled. I can only presume in order to drive traffic to his YouTube channel.

You'd have to ask the mods. Report button's that way v

A cable lock round the neck isn't how I consider it safe to carry one, whilst on a bike.

OK, now that's been tidied up, my personal opinion:

SP and TD are totally in on the joke and are in fact encouraging it. See post #14 in this thread. Every insult directed at them bumps the thread, increasing the visibility of their videos and number of views, earning them increased advertising revenue. Otherwise why do they not come back to discuss and debate, but just post increasingly unwatchable nonsense? They are exploiting their notoriety and using this forum for profit, against user guidelines.

So the joke is on us really, for feeding the trolls.

That said, some of it doesn't necessarily enhance the reputation of this forum as fun and friendly.

Don't think it's a Met bike

It doesn't matter who supplied the bike, the effect is the same

Right, so my post has been mod-edited, presumably because Drago's has also, and now no longer makes the point I was trying to make. Fantastic. I may as well just delete the post.
