“I have to agree with Mammy6. Ekosz, I find your comments absolutely abhorrent. It's comments like yours that epitomize everything that is wrong with modern culture. Your obvious penchant for gossip has blinded you to the fact that not all of his friends and family might not have been informed of the accident, if indeed it is that said person. Please try to think of those affected by this story and hopefully you might see sense and delete your post if the BEP don't do it for you. His life-style is irrelevant as nobody deserves what has happened to this poor man. Show some respect and compassion and stop the rumour mongering.”

“you did indeed knigel, and any comments I made were not directed at you.
Rather they are directed at the retards who cannot help themselves but to push their car/anti-car agenda at any opportunity......
Absolutely nothing in this article points to either party being at fault, the facts are not known.
A terrible accident has left a young man fighting for his life, his family devastated,.
Surely we do not need to post about anything else...”

“Oh no I didn't!
Read my first comment:
"An example of why we need a city-wide 20mph speed limit.."
I didn't say THIS driver was speeding I was stating that terrible accidents like this will be reduced if there is a 20mph speed limit.. It is widely known that a 20mph reduces accidents. http://tinyurl.com/aboa3s5
Bristol needs this 20mph limit to reduce terrible accidents like this.
I hope this man makes a speedy recovery.. And Lone Ranger, I wish you would keep your judgemental comments about him to yourself.”

“I will type this slowly as you appear to be hard of thinking:
YOU made judgement regarding the car's speed (based on no evidence in the article). I put forward an alternative suggestion to illustrate that it might not have been the speed which was a contributory factor - Absolutely no judgement on my part as there is (currently) no evidence regarding the cause.
I suggest you give up as you clearly do not understand.”

“Inserting the word "maybe" before making a judgement about somone, does not make you sound any less judgemental... Think about it.”

“Lone Ranger, you said:
"Maybe the person injured was drunk and wandered into the road"
Plain and clear for all to see, you made a judgement about this poor lad who now lies in hospital seriously injured by a motor vehicle.
You ought to apoligise to this family friend of the lad who has posted here”
