Safe Speed Forums

Not just this thread but, I am getting more and more concerned about the quality of posts.

Yes, I know I'm a fine one to talk because I've screwed-up on occasion but I hope that I recognise when I have been out of order and have the decency to explain or apologise where appropriate.

It's not easy to understand people and their true motives on a forum! Of this, I am certain.

But anyone reading this thread, and other threads, with new eyes IMVHO would see - weepej bashing.


Tell me I'm wrong?


So...


weepej - can you say something, anything, you like or respect about, for instance, Bombus?

Bombus - do you hate everything weepej stands for? Has he never made a post, or part of, with which you agree?


I feel like I have a 1st class honours degree in apologising, but you know what - I don't find it difficult.

Even family can fall out but I have learned that the two people who will tell you the truth are your worst enemy and your best friend.


I have never felt so uncomfortable on SS as I feel right now!


I'm beginning to lose faith and interest in posting here, not because I don't believe in SS or will withdraw my support!!!, but because of the rancour and hatred I see even when a good post or point is made - by anyone!

I don't expect anyone to agree, but I see this as plainly as the words on my screen.

The subject moved on from me suggesting I don't wan't cars to pass too fast and too close (but if they're going to pass close I'd rather they did it at 30 than 40), to people suggesting that I'd prefer cars to pass cyclists too slowly, when I'd prefer them too pass me at a good speed (so they're not along side me for too long), and not too close.

I can't find anything wrong with weepej's point here - he doesn't want cars dawdling past him but he feels if people are going to pass him too closely he would prefer a lower speed? Seems fair enough to me.

Thank you prof

I was begining to think I'm losing the plot.

just asking the question.... since i responded to weepej's post, and his next one referred to his words being twisted.

that wasnt my intention so i thought i'd see if it was me.

the post i responded too was perhaps open to interpretation either way.

i don't think i suggested he was 'wrong' and not sure anyone else has (?) just offered an alternative pov.

Not to the same degree no.

I've seen some truely heartstopping things.
