now 5 votes, 100%

I have been reading posts on that site for a while, I can tell you that some anti-scamera posters are completely ignored or berated, even though the language is civil and polite.

this is very true. the forum was set up to answer questions that members of the public may have about speed, sorry "safety", camera operations in cumbria

see here
www.cumbriasafetycameras.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=630

for the unanswered questions so far - disgusting.

.....just to add, I have noticed that Destroyer is also doing the same. I have asked him a few questions recently (as have others) but he does not respond at all. I know others on PH have noticed some funny traits from him.

Destroyer just pops up from time to time to troll. Ignore him.

It's a shame really. We get precious few posters on here who are pro speed camera (reflection of public opinion?).
I don't want to berate or hound them, but Destroyer's comments/attitude are usually... destructive!

He isn't winning people over.

It is now 10 out of 10 votes. no surprise there then.

Even if you adopt a policy of "a spoonful of honey catches more wasps than a barrel of vinegar approach" questions still get unanswered or ignored.

To go off tangent just had a neighbour get back off his hols to say that he's had an anti-scam post accepted by the BBC!

When he sent it I must confess I wet myself laughing at it and told him no chance.

see www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/yoursay/topics/speed_cams.shtml

and scroll down to find one from "retired old bill"

Which reads as follows:-

"I say to Wales keep on with your anti-motorist policy.

Family has a tourist related business, and the number of customers are increasing who come in and say "I used to go to Wales at least once a year, but no longer". Some of the reasons cited result from the vicious anti-motorist policies in place.

So I say "Carry on Wales you numpties" we'll reap the benefit."


No comment needed from me.

Now 11 of 11.

The CSCP site can be amusing, and we do get straight answers from their resident trafpol. When the other CSCP staff stay out we can actually have a decent debate.
