Caps lock headline speak frenzy!


There's a forum fro bus drivers called "Bloodbus", no, really, whose
members have been issuing threats to Magnatom.


The word "Vigilante" is entirely the wrong word in that article, are
CCTVs in banks "vigilantes"?

    there's a weird forum called "Bloodbus"- no, really, whose members have been threatening magnatom and saying he will be killed. Some odd buggers out there.

    To Strathclyde Cruisers, cc Strathcylde police:

    Dear Sir and madam.

    Apologies for the scatter-gun approach to contacting you, the "Contact Us" link doesn't seem to work.

    STV did a feature on magnatom,. a cyclist who films errant driver behaviour. Your forum discusses the case, and a number of worrying posts have been allowed on the forum.

    Calling this gentleman a "wanker" and a "virgin" probably says more about your forum members than magnatom, but may i ask if you are going to leave the posts on your site that describe where this gentleman works and his appearance? threats to attack him and destroy his camera?

    The link's here:

    For instance:






    its cunts like him that make me wish i still had my fiesta.

    rule no 1 of the road, don't piss of a guy driving a £50 car








    This guy is a chugger.

    Someone run him over.

    In fact, find out where I can find him and I'll do better.

    End quote.


    Of course your forum has the right to allow criticism, i wonder if you could clarify whether the death threats posted on Strathclyde Cruisers are part of an official policy or whether you will take action to remove these dangerous threats?


    Best regards
