Except that would never happen. When he is on his police horse you kinda don't go messing with him. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5712#post-61440 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 07:45:28 +0000 gembo 61440@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We are internet posters but not CEOs of large corporations? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5712#post-61413 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:07:14 +0000 chdot 61413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"rising to 4% of CEO's of large corporations"</p> <p>Only 4?? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5712#post-61411 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:58:43 +0000 Uberuce 61411@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>1% of the population are sociopaths, rising to 4% of CEO's of large corporations, so Jon Ronson says. Well, says the experts say; I don't think he just made it up.</p> <p>I wonder what population of internet posters are sociopaths. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5712#post-61402 Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:10:49 +0000 gembo 61402@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We have become sucked in to reading the commenters when we know they are nearly all serial controversialists or the one person with many multiple identities.

Learned my lesson after going cold turkey the last time and lasting for an admirable length of time.</p> <p>I just find it depressing that someone is willing to write something like that in a public place.

What is the basis for this certainty of yours? </em>[not sure what this is referring to<em>I noticed at least two motorcycle police have been canvassing passers by at the accident spot and wonder what this is costing us. At the end of the day, it's a simple broken leg. I wonder if there would be all this hoohaa if it had happened in a rugby scrum...</em>"</p> <p>So there you have it. It's <em>just</em> a broken leg. No different than someone being hurt playing rugby. </p>
