Oh, indeed. My own killfile includes people who advance views with which I
agree, but do so repetitiously and in a way intended to provoke argument.

If someone wants to come along and make a cogent, coherent and well-mannered
argument that it is to the greater good of the community as a whole that
motorists should be permitted to kill people with impunity, then I'm
prepared not merely to listen but to engage in debate.

I'm not sure anyone on uk.rec.driving has such views...

It's people who endlessly repeat the same tired and dishonest arguments
despite repeated rebuttal that end up in my bozo bin.

Which is fair enough.

Cheers,
Luke
