can u believe this

[Napalm]

It is SO obvious that his email is mostly in jest.

 

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.

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

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Kranswurm]

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

[Slowbee]

I wondern if Ken will log onto the Hub.

 

Lets wait and see.

 

Tomorrow  is another day, like sand through an hour glass, these are the days of the hub.

 

its been a while since we had a real popcorn thread.

In trouble for this....i don't think so.Maybe if i took his 2 meter shock stick and stuck it up his arse and shocked him... maybe.

 

I tried phoning him and was sworn at and he doesn't reply to his emails.

A woman knows how to push a mans buttons very quickly so if he wants to make threats and admissions let him take what comes his way.

[Slowbee]

please please wait till i get home before we start with pineapple pizza ..... ppplllllllllsssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 

[chucky]

He's mail was confirmed to me by Ken,im not leaving it here and am seeking legal advise I from my lawyers,no threats to himself or family have been made by me,all i have asked him for is an apology,that still stands

Well then its all ok...seeing you went to the trouble of looking up and posting his wifes details as well why dont you send her emails too...and while you are about it phone her a couple of times.Lets see....what would you like to threaten her with hmmm?

When you wonder why charges are laid against you,give some thought to the reputation of the Hub you have succeeded in dragging through the gutter.Let alone cyclists in general that find your attitude and behaviour pathetic.

[Overlord]

I just spoke to Mr K Hauer and we had a very civilized chat. I can understand why they are starting to get a little fed-up with cyclists.

 

Maybe just a attitude change from cyclists will make motorists regard them with the same respect they do other road users. Remember you get what you give. 

[Procrates]

 

 

 

 

I must agree with Onetime.

Even though I am a cyclist myself I cannot help get mad at some idiots that ride like @ssholes in traffic and skip traffic lights. And then they get mad if other road users dont respect them, see the irony. Remember it only takes one stray car or taxi to termibate you. Worst is it reflects badly on the whole cycling community.

[Gasping]

Here is my take on this entire debacle.

 

If this email is correct (the original), then I would love to meet up with this fellow and share my thoughts with him.

 

Posting details: I posted him business web site - not too difficult to figure out from his email address. Sue me. Information is in the public domain.

 

As for posting his wife's details, where where those gleaned from? If his personal accounts were hacked, then there is a case for criminal charges being brought to bear. If they were found off another web site, there can be no criminal charges brought against the poster - once again, they are in the public domain.

 

I have missed some posts here obviously, but the one threat that I did make was bury his 2m shock stick where the sun don't shine. While this is an expression and in some instances it might even be considered an idiom, if he has purchased this device for the purpose of injuring cyclists (as his email implies), my offer stands.

 

This was started as a shocking post, followed up by a helluva lot of anger (the Rant and Rave forum) directed at Ken. A couple of Hubbers contacted the man directly, and for that you can give them credit. One was called a "colossal prick" Be that as it may, there was still courage enough to speak directly to the man.

 

I said that I had subscribed him to a particularly nasty porn site. THAT WAS AN UNMITIGATED LIE ON MY PART. I would not do that to Julius, let alone this Ken chap.

 

Most people agree that we need to respect motorists, and I really think that the majority of us do. When we read of fatal accidents involving a cyclist, we get irate. Is this a bad thing? I do not think so. It could have  been any one of us.

 

Then an inflammatory email like the one Ken sent to Thinkbike gets posted here and we all react. HELL YES!

 

I stand by each and every post that I have put up here today. As I said, one of them is an out-and-out lie, but for the rest - I stand firm.

What I would like to know is what happened to the rest of the e-mail? Only a third of the mail was posted on this site.

The irony of course is that you're supposedly telling the truth about telling a lie. If you can be dishonest in the first place, then there's no way you can be believed beyond that.
