    Do you have to be so aggressive? Acting like this makes the movement look spiteful and vengeful, rather than actually working sensibly towards a better world.

      Did you really see “fuck cars” and expect it to be polite to car people? One time, I told a car guy that I enjoyed taking public transit, and he aggressively told me that I “could pry his car keys out of his cold dead hands.” I hadn’t even said anything about him or anybody else. I didn’t even know he was a car person. Car people are not going to cooperate and “work sensibly towards a better world.” They don’t give a shit about the world, and they don’t give a shit about you. And this is a place where we can shit on those evil people.

      I’m sure there are plenty of communities where you can waste time working sensibly with people who don’t give a shit and will never change, and your message will surely resonate beautifully there. But here, we’re in the “fuck cars” community, so don’t try to tell me not to act that way in a place that is made for me to act that way.

        So it’s just a “five minutes hate” kind of thing for you, then? You just use this community as an outlet to vent and write revenge fantasy fanfic about how you wanna punish motorists?

          It’s pretty clear that you’re trolling at this point, and if you don’t think you’re trolling, then you may want to reflect on the fact that your opinions are indistinguishable from trolling. I block trolls, so you’re blocked.

            I just asked the question because I was hoping you might reflect and come to some kind of realization about how unproductive and stupid your comments have been, but if you’re literally incapable of the mildest criticism from an ally, I don’t think there’s much hope for that. All the best!
