Sure you're not taking it all a tad seriously here? The comments you've quoted are more like what you'd say when you were 14 years old. Certainly don't look anything more than banter. Of course if this was said directly to him in a threatening manner then that's different but I don't think that's the case here?
The other posts, which cannot be posted here because the cowards at strathycruisers have locked the forum, gave Magnatom's place of work and commuting route. Cyclists have been assaulted, a chap was crippled by the actions of people like the strathycruisers thugs, a young girl was blinded by a bottle thrown from a car. These threats are terrifyingly real. If someone posted your address and gave the best time to smash into you with a car, wouldn't you take it seriously?
He managed to get in today's Sun as well. Don't know if that can be classed as an achievement. Didn't recognise him on Page 3. The surgery has worked well.
Magnatom, have you actually received death threats? I mean real death threats. I'm sure your used to numpties threatening you, but if they're real. That's just incredible.

Yes you're correct here, just banter. Though Spintwat down there thinks it's threats, though the threats aren't extacly directed towards Magnatom.

Death threats have been posted on strathclyde cruisers and bloodbus, I'm afraid.

Really? If there's REAL death threats thats messed up :S

There aint death threats on StrathyCruise - yes, that's StrathyCruise - Not "strathclyde cruisers" as you call it.
In future maybe actually read the "strathclyde cruisers" forum before you say stuff like that.
That is all.

from Strathyclydecruisers: "its cunts like him that make me wish i still had my fiesta. rule no 1 of the road, don't piss of a guy driving a £50 car"
and"This guy is a chugger.Someone run him over. In fact, find out where I can find him and I'll do better."
Among these charming epithets are comments that magnatom must be "gay" or a "virgin".
The administrators of that forum has now locked it to hide the threats and homophobic abuse from public view. Cowards, as well as homophobes.

Wouldn't call them threats to be honest, maybe the second one was a bit over the top.
It's just their opinion and they're entitled to it. From what I can see on the forum just now there's no threats.
The post died on March the 28th.
That is all once again. I look forward to your reply.

Good on ya mate. too many drivers treat us cyclists like vermin.
Cyclists need to set a good example as well though.

Just a PS. I don't like the use of the term "vigilante".
I can't see that what you're doing is out with the law.
