To think if you cycle into an elderly lady

[Sexnotgender]

You should at least stop and check she’s ok?

Gobsmacked at the total lack of concern shown by the cyclist. He took a chunk out her arm and just carried on!

It's not just about one cyclist when a poster calls the majority of cyclists cunts. It becomes an idiotic bigoted cyclist bashing thread. Car drivers cause much more devastation in the world but no-one starts threads about them.

oh, aibu loves a cyclist or disability bashing thread, doesn't it?

funnily, my posts stating that Kate looks quite awful and unhealthy in her skinniness were removed yet post calling all cyclists "self absorbed cunts" are allowed to stand. Says a lot about MN these days.

Yeah, no threads at all 🙄

It says a lot that you can't tell the difference.

Posts calling car drivers cunts aren't removed.
Posts calling Landrover drivers cunts aren't removed.
Posts calling those with personalised number plates cunts aren't removed.
Posts thin shaming an individual are.

I did not thin shame and I did not use swear words or attacks. I just said I don't think it is a healthy or good look. I don't call her a bony cunt or so.

Do you think you have to use swear words for something to be unacceptable?

do you think the use of swearwords when referring to cyclists is acceptable?

And yes, I think it is fine to say that I think someone is looking too thin. I don't see what is office about that.

What the hell are you in about?! Kate is an actual person, a random cyclist can be anyone so it’s not insulting an individual. Jesus wept 🙄

I don't think all of them are... something i can't say as it's been deleted. Some certainly think they can do no wrong though.

the poster referred to all cyclist. I am a cyclist and I do take offence to being called a self absorbed cunt. I am a real person too (though of course not half as important as the skinny duchess).

You know it's been deleted right?

Nobody said "rainbowbash is a self absorbed cunt" though did they? No one personally insulted you at all. You did "thin shame" an individual.

But cyclists aren’t a protected minority group so it doesn’t matter if you’re offended. I’m a motorist and I see self -absorbed motorist cunts every day. Stop being so precious.

how did I thin shame?

It's been explained plenty over on the other thread. I'm not dragging it into this one any more.

This is about a cyclist who cycled into an elderly lady, injured her and just rode off without a second thought and no chance of any reprisal.

MN used to be a place where one was able to state opinions. I said in my opinion she is too thin and it is not a good look.

Now you cannot do this anymore unless you bash cyclists, disabled and a few other minority groups.

anyways, I leave you alone now. it's getting too stupid for me now.

The comment you're whinging about has been deleted so you're talking bollocks anyway.

I am a real person too (though of course not half as important as the skinny duchess).

How nice to insult a real person behind the anonymity of your username. What is Kate called found out your name and called you a fat self absorbed cyclist. Would you like that?

Surely if you cycle into anyone you stop and check they are ok regardless of age?

I have a friend in her mid twenties who was hit by a cyclist lasy winter. It was wet on the ground so she slipped over and ended up with a broken wrist. The cyclist apparently didn't even look back, just left her there!

Yes except no one is allowed to often cyclists according to you.

Yes I agree you’ve raised the stupidity to a new height with your posts 🙄

What is Kate called found out your name and called you a fat self absorbed cyclist. Would you like that?

if it makes you feel better. I am actually very slim (BMI of 20) and look amazing. Could not care less if someone called me fat

Right you’re ‘very slim’ but Kate is ‘too skinny’ 😂

You only look amazing in your dreams love

Amazing on the outside.

On the inside however....

People who cycle don't walk and drive as well

They do, but when they do, they're pedestrians and drivers, respectively.
