can u believe this

[Jackes]

So, it seems that this mr is very hard to get hold of

[levett]

I have to agree - it was 'interest' at first, and I have to admit that I was shocked that someone would put in print such threats (and admision of committing crimes) - and I don't think anyone would actually carry out any of the 'suggestions'.

 

It's one thing showing displeasure and making it known that there is a large group of people who he is threatening, but to break the law in retaliation would be wrong - there are few enough people that obey the law anyway.

 

We should also learn a little - there is another thread re safety at the Dome2Dome and I commented that there were cyclists who 'thought they owned the road' - so perhaps we should take the moral high ground, ride responsibly (defensively), and accept that there are people out there who hate cyclists so much that they will use any excuse to 'mow us down'.

 

I'm in favour of making his E-Mail public (SAPS, EWN, Ride, Bicycling, etc) - with his name (since he included it) and letting everyone judge for themselves).

It will be incredibly difficult to prove that anything that a Hubber has said here was actually done by that said individual....

 

I can (just as this idiot did) make any statement on a public forum...and that's wheer it will end....

 

try and prove (via my logged IP etc etc) that is was actuall ME that happened to drop some rat poison in this dud'e pond???

 

Maybe with the help of Horatio and CSI Miami???

 

Do you for one minute think this guy would admit to a felony of that proportion if he actually did it? I think not...

 

Finally, sometimes one has to stoop low to effect a certain action / comment...that might be all that thsi guy understand...getting down to his level....(none of us like it but it will certainly be effective)?

Guys, stop the bus. It can be fun to rave and rant and sometimes make ridiculous comments and threats.

 

At the end of the day though, it is just that. Rva e and rant, get it off your chest and move on.

 

Always remember that with great freedom, comes great responsibility.

 

Let's not sink down to Ken's level and do the correct thing.

 

Anger is after all the emotion that makes the mouth work faster than the brain.

 

It was fun while it lasted. Buid a bridge, get over it.

[Gasping]

Cassie, easy to beat Horatio - steal his Ray Bans and he is knackered, then date the blonde hottie for good measure.

 

As for the moral high ground, it did nothing for Neville Chamberlain. Thank goodness for Winston Churchill.

I am sorry to say this - but I hope there is some serious legal proceeding against the hubbers who posted info on the hub. Saying/inferring things about this persons wife .... no people thats just not right. I am on the side of capecyclist and Delgado.

 

From one email - just one, you lot have got on your high and mighty horses and made a whole set of assumptions about this guy. What happened to getting both sides of the story ?

 

Maybe someone hacked his account and sent a spitefull email?

 

I just cant believe the reaction of some of you lot. Sad.

 

[gremlin]

I think this guy is just talk, trying to scare everyone riding around the area. It is a public road. Also if he knocked 2 people over, I would think they would lay charges.

[bd54]

Lets call Derek Watts @ Carte Blanche he will know what to do.

Good point - his original E-Mail was to ThinkBike - perhaps someone should ask them to reply to him (or phone him) and ask him if it was, in fact, his E-Mail (or whether his E-Mail account has been hacked). If he confirms that he did author the E-Mail, they can then perhaps ask him if these are his true feelings, or whether it was a 'heat of the moment' reaction after the Dome2Dome.

Absolutely, if I was this guy I'd have called my lawyer already. It's just unsafe to have your wife's personal details out on the web like that. What if something happens to her because of this? It's really sad this thread. People have threatened to poison his dam with rattex, they've made comments about his wife, posted her details, signed him up for things with fake credit card details, made assault threats, committed crimen injua by signing his company details to all sorts of appalling websites and we've even had a little political rant by member:Gasping justifying two wrongs with a very tired argument.

 

 

 

Seriously, if I was the farm owner, I'd have my lawyers do some serious damage for this. It is SO obvious that his email is mostly in jest. OF COURSE he hasnt ridden riders over, or bought a cattle prod. He starts off his letter with an agreement that people are allowed to ride so long as they respect other road users.

 

 

 

If you feel strongly about that email, then, like I said, take it down to the police station and lay a charge, and have them investigate it.

That may be true - but the problem is that there are so many idiots out there it only takes a single person to take that it seriously, and someone dies. 

 

[Kranswurm]

What a knob! I think his house needs to be petrol bombed! Would leave a mail on his site but its slower than he's going to be in his wheelchair after he gets knocked!

And you are an idiot!

For your sake and certain other individuals on this thread,I suggest you pray that nothing happens to his wife,family,himself or his house that you wish to see bombed.You might just be spending a few nights in the choekie yourself.Fool.

True that, but his email was addressed to a private party, not posted on a public forum that Google will trawl and save forever. His email could be regarded as a PM, and I'm sure MANY things get said in jest through PMs.

 

The guys on this site have taken things to another level with this one.

 

Let's just say, for argument's sake, he did knock down a cyclist, or shock one with a cattle prod, it would be up the involved party to make the relevant charge. The problem here is that people have been vindictive and their actions could, if not already, cause Ken some damage. I'm appalled.   capecyclist2009-09-16 09:13:40

so lets put on another shoe capecyclist. Have you reported this thread to admin ?

 

asked for it to be taken off for the sake of privacy ?

 

or at least stored for legal grounds?

Admin knows about this thread I'm sure, it should have been deleted after the first threat. It must pay to have hits. I personally dont care if it stays or goes to be honest. It's not my wife's name and number posted here. I'm merely stating the facts, and pointing out how incredibly distasteful this all is.

 

Google has already cached this thread so yes, if Ken wanted to, he could get hold of the threats.

Yes bright spark

I suggest you ask you buddy to edit his post where he quoted you as well.

I would suggest you are in a bit of trouble...which you thoroughly deserve of course
