How can you tell when one of the trolls has no way of refuting the
evidence of their opponent(s)? They start whittering on about "peer
review". Strange that they don't seem to worry about peer review when
someone (say Brake, or the government, or the owner of the
pretentiously named Crapman Central) makes the case *for* speed
cameras.
We all know that the trolls just use "peer review" as a rather
pathetic stick to beat Safe Speed with, because it's the only stick
they can find. Personally I wish they'd do something else with that
stick instead (which would have the added bonus of meaning that the
trolls could no longer talk).
As Paul frequently said, in such simple terms that even the trolls
could understand it, anyone on the Internet could have reviewed his
pages, and if anyone had properly refuted them (as opposed to coming
up with flawed, agenda-driven, anti-car bollocks like Crapman did),
Paul would have made the relevant corrections. But no-one ever did.
The trolls know that perfectly well, but they pretend not to, because
they'd rather carry on with the "peer review" accusations no matter
how irrelevant they are to the overall debate. A principle part of
the trolls' "debating" technique is to pretend not to understand
things which they find inconvenient.
So, that's established then. Every time a troll says that Safe Speed
isn't peer reviewed, they're actually saying "I've lost the argument
and the 'peer reviewed' stuff is just sour grapes".

Which is why I said "Someone apart from me appears to be laughing at
the car-hating trolls". I can see a joke for what it is, which is why
I don't take you at all seriously (and just as well really).
Anyway, Spindrift's signed the petition! Since you lot worship him,
doesn't that mean that you all have to sign it as well? If you don't
then he might run you over on his non-existent bicycle.
