Would it have been okay had they been awake, then?

Dover is -> that way. Don't let me detain you further.

.....and a pontificating flange

 

Oi! Don't send him *my* fucking way. Wouldn't he prefer to go somewhere to
the West where punishment beatings are more normal....?

Dave

 

You realise that if they as a favour, at some later date, the consequences
of refusal could be.....unpleasant?

But you already knew that, didn't you?

 

Not over here please, Saudi would be the place for beatings and worse.

 

They're the best kind.

Si

 

I thought you were waaaaaaay over to the west? I was thinking just a short
hop from Wales.....

Dave

 

Ah, right.

 

Not at all.

It indicates that the bike was found with some people and those people
had their limbs broken.

Are you confident that all (because it said "limbs" and not "limb")
people who had a limb broken were involved in the theft? I'm not
(although to be honest I'm sceptical if anyone had limbs broken but
that's just me)

 

So whats your problem then?? If you think this why worry?

 

I said "sceptical", which means I have some doubt- it doesn't mean I
*know* it didn't happen.

My 'problem' is that I don't like vigilantes, violence or the
glorification of violence so whether the assaults really took place or
not is a moot point, I feel minded to challenge the mentality that
supports these acts of violence.

Of course this is really easy for me to do when it's not my bike that's
been fucked with. If it were my bike I suspect I'd be all for attacking
the people that fucked with it, however I would hope I'd regret it
afterwards.

Before you shout "hypocrite", just look back in the thread to where this
all started- I deliberately didn't follow up to you (since I don't
expect you to be rational about this, you're not independent of the
issue), I followed up to TOG.

 

I'm assuming hyperbole is being used here in the context of "making it up".

I'd have had a bit more respect for you if you'd done the recovery
work yourself, or at least gone along to join in, rather than getting
someone else to deal out the slaps then bragging about it.

I'm all for kicking bike thieves around a bit but I don't condone
getting others to act as vigilantes.

 

Not here, you plank. North a bit.

 

It's in the context of exagerrating, I've no doubt that the bike was
recovered. I wouldn't be surprised if violence was threatened and even
if there was some limited physical violence.

However, if arms were broken etc. I would be most surprised if someone
would be talking about it.

Still, fortunately this is removed from my personal experience so I
could well be completely wrong.

Oh do **** off.

 

Nice reasoned argument there.

 

I voted for him breaking one of your limbs.
