Real people are complex and hold a wide palette of skills, opinions, habits, biases, etc. Just enjoy the good and disregard the bad.

There is a huge difference between "people are complex" and actively advertising your antisocial and frankly dangerous actions online, and being proud of them.

If he wants me to disregard them, he shouldn't be writing blog posts about them.

  • Ikr? Driving massively oversized vehicles in a country where the roads have been designed for small family cars at best, taking up 1.2 parking bays in every shop car park, and lording it over others like you're the king of the road in your hideous pale white hulks, yeah that's terribly antisocial behaviour.

    We need more than blog posts, we need the government to do something. I'm thinking of starting a campaign for Saner Roads if you'd join me.

  • While I understand the sentiment and generally agree with it, I find it weird that you completely gloss over the fact that it is reactive antisocial mirroring behavior.

    The blogging person is definitely making stuff worse, but they're just amplifying. The source of the problem is to be found elsewhere.

    A surprising amount of comments in here seem to completely disregard that for some reason.
