"Uh, no.  The neutrality of the project is in its coverage of subjects for encyclopedic purposes. Making a loud statement to defend its very existence does nothing to change that." - hex

"Are these the same motorists who one can see speeding, parking illegally, talking on their phones while driving, forcing their way into lanes of traffic, driving over advanced stop lines at red lights, cutting people off, and tailgating and passing dangerously close to and screaming abuse at cyclists every day on any given road? Yeah, your theory works beautifully for them. I can scarcely think of a better example of the pot calling the kettle black." - hex

"Is that meant to be funny?" - hex

"Can we also then ban all the drivers who I see on a daily basis violating the Highway Code? It'll double London's road capacity at a stroke." - hex

""killer pavement cyclists" Do you live on Daily Mail Island?" - hex

"It is very apparent why there are so many cyclists killed and injured on our roads, one only need look at any road to see that powered vehicle drivers have no regard for the laws of this land, their own safety or any sense of road awareness.See? Two can play that game." - hex

""the fools that sneak into those blind spots" I think you mean "follows the officially-designated cycle lanes to road junctions". http://i256.photobucket.com/al... That's not foolishness. It's criminal negligence on the part of Transport for London." - hex

"How incredibly arrogant you are. That poster describes their personal preferences for their own set of interactions and you dismiss them as "wrong", justifying yourself in terms of your own life." - hex

""But this article is just alarmist and incorrect."How is it "incorrect" to point out that many of us don't want to share every single thing we do automatically? "If you want to manually create posts, use Twitter or Tumblr. You're trying to make Facebook be something it's not." You seem to be living in a completely different world to the one I've spent the last four years using Facebook in. The one were we, as users, post things (or "like" or "recommend" them), or don't. It's always been that way. It may not be that way in the future, but you can't retroactively change the way Facebook has operated. Some applications will automatically post things to your account as a result of your taking certain actions (e.g. listening to music on Mixcloud). But Facebook itself has always been a manual posting environment. It's baffling that you claim otherwise. "It doesn't share anything that you don't opt-in to."The way the "seamless sharing" system currently presents itself, the majority of users..." - hex

"Nice argument, hotshot." - hex

On the right it says I "joined some time ago". How about "since October 2004"? But Pinboard is where my bookmarks are now. Fuck you, Yahoo, for shitting on the best bookmarking service the Web ever saw. And fuck you, AVOS, for buying it and immediately making it into a shitty fucking mess. - hex
