THAT was the problem. How can you fail to understand that?


The idiocy that ensued from that point is another matter entirely.

And this one. These are only the most recent.

As you state it here is seems reasonable...

UNTIL you consider KY's original post where his solution was to willfully cause an accident.

You are still avoiding the main point here, his original post!

So then, you're problem with the OP is that he was driving down the road 63 mph in a 55 mph zone, right?

THAT is the ONLY thing I'm defending.

So apparently THAT is what you have the problem with, right?



You're welcome to keep digging your hole deeper and deeper if you wish...

You have to be kidding, Right?

My problem is that he advocated SLAMMING on his brakes to cause an accident!

You are not understanding this at all are you?

No no, I understand it perfectly. It's YOU that's in the fog. I am defending nothing other than a person's right to drive down the road, minding their own business, without having some road-rage butt-hole riding their bumper.


Now... Find where I've defended brake checking, or just hang it up.

Omaha, the OP is what started all this, you are missing THAT point.

Of COURSE the OP started all this. The OP starts EVERY thread.


Now... Why don't you find me the quote where I was defending him slamming on his brakes? You KNOW you've been trying to find it.


What I am defending is his - and everyone else's right - to drive down a highway, minding their own business, without having some road-rage redneck a-hole (the likes of several members here) riding his bumper in order to prove how macho they are. THAT is what I am defending.

If you don't like it, don't be that a-hole redneck I mentioned...

I was referring to KYdads post and how you leave out the fact that he advocated slamming on his brakes and causing an accident, a point that you seem to ignore.

I have stated repeatedly that tailgating is unsafe and illegal. Most of us agree with that.

I agree with you that folks should not be tailgated.

Do you agree that they should not purposely cause an accident if they are?

Of course. Where have I ever stated anything different?
