Think Bike

"Lads and lasses, we are not going to formally respond to this or lay a complaint with the BCC. Our contention is that it will just play into Mr Cliff's hands by feeding the controversy.

You are free to respond or complain in your individual capacities, but please do not create the impression that you represent or speak on behalf of Think Bike."

This, after a radio 5 deejay told a woman she can kill a biker's buddies the next day.

There is something that sticks in my throat. This is not a game, orchestrated by wily media companies. This is a prat, who says anything contriversial, for the sake of being contriversial. No debate, no reason, certainly no intelligence. Just very typically south african speaking before thinking, and being typically arrogant to bot.

Are civil societies not duty bound to represent themselves in the public eye? Is Think Bike's main purpose to represent the interests of bikers? Is it in fact the ONLY saving grace south africa has had over the last few years, the strength of civil action?

I am very confused and dismayed. So instead of building a greater good, we're being told: You're on your own, and DON'T pretend to represent us thank you.

I'm not even going to get into the free speech aspects. Nothing is "free" and yet people honestly think it can be so. Is that ignorance or delusion?
