Just A Quick One

Going by what Spindrift has posted over the years, and the style that
he has used, do you honestly believe that his agenda is a noble,
selfless, transparent one (e.g. saving lives), rather than an
extremist, selfish, hidden one (e.g. an illogical hatred of
motorists)? Even if you believe that speed cameras save lives, have
you never suspected that Spindrift is not the wonderful, caring
individual that he would like people to think he was? Does Spindrift
really strike you as someone who would devote so much time and effort
to saving the lives of random road users? Do you think it's a good
thing that Spindrift is one of the most (in)famous camera advocates on
the Internet?

If you agree with me that he has a hidden agenda, what do you think it
is? Are there any possibilities other than the most obvious (that he
hates motorists)? Does he, like Chapman, have links with SCPs or
similar? Surely if his motive is anything other than saving lives,
Spindrift's posts are just as damaging to those who genuinely believe
that cameras save lives as they are to anyone else.

(In fact, they don't really damage the anti-camera movement at all, we
just find him comical. For a while there was even a school of thought
(in some quarters) that Spindrift was actually Paul Smith, such was
the extent to which Spindrift blackened the reputation of camera
supporters.)

Does anyone *really* think that Spindrift is a good camera advocate,
who has a purely selfless, philanthropic agenda? I very much hope not.

Anyone know what this sock puppet is on about?

He's a troll, although not one that crossposts or uses a female alias.
He seems to be worried that the do-gooding treee-hugging loony-leftie
lycra wearing environmentalists are coming to take his car away.

Why would loony-left environmentalists be wearing garments made of
artificial fabric that where probably stiched in a sweatchop in the
Phillipines? I've never seen Fair-trade lycra ...

I kind of think that the anti-cycling mob are trying to merge several
basically incompatible stereotypes into one. It's like an Italian BB
in an English-threaded shell - it might look the right size, but it
certainly doesn't fit.

yes, and what's more you'll not easily find a tool to re-tap the tread
to italian either. No matter how good an idea that might seem.

No, me neither.

Having just read this - and in light of what you've said about me and
others - I think it may not be depression you are suffering from, but
paranoia; I really do think you should seek advice.

You have now scored the elusive 1.0 Degarmo coefficient, well done.
Nuxx posted a diatribe that describes with very close to 100%
accuracy his own behaviour over the months he's been trolling here,
and if you'd bothered to check you'd have seen that my reply made
precisely that point: the words were entirely his with only the name
changed.

So congratulations on your spectacularly ill-informed
faux-diagnosis, as well as for siding with one of the most noxious
trolls who has ever darkened this newsgroup. You also have a
positive gift for making people regret even trying to help you.
