If you're on FB, report these knobs for being knobs. Some of it is pretty poor.

Everything get hijacked by tools on the internet.
Not worth it Womble. It won't make your life any better even if FB did act on it.

As such I strongly believe the site should be allowed to exist. The Facebook page owning is expressing his opinion on government infrastructure decisions in Sydney. I would be repulsed to live in a country that repressed such expression.
If any PARTICULAR posts incite hate or violence then by all means report them. But honestly I think it would be better spending your time elsewhere.
I'm sorry but that is BS. If you start holding communication facilitators responsible for the content that that is expressed then where does it stop? It is attitudes like that which cause forums and other such communication mediums to be overzealous in moderation and thus what happens to free speech?ldrcycles wrote:I've already reported it, as much as i doubt fb will do anything, at least i have done something. It is not ok for people to say 'we should run over all the *expletive', in my book that is threatening a group with murder, and if it isn't already a crime, it bloody well should be. The person who started the page can say that they aren't against cyclists but that counts for zero if they do not remove such comments. To remain silent is to consent.
For example is BNA forums consenting and encouraging the breaking of laws by allowing comments on their forums concerning illegal behaviour such as riding without a bell or riding without a helmet?

So report such inciting of violence of the police if you so wish. (Given recent events if it was an islamic or anti-islamic post then the police would be onto it in a second. )mikesbytes wrote:This Poster posted that cyclists should be run down

But the fact of the matter is that we live in a free society with largely free speech. The relevant authorities have better things to do that chase after Joe (redneck) Bloggs and his posts.

Anything like that should be reported to the Police, they can deal with it. That is using a carriage service to incite hatred/violence.mikesbytes wrote:This Poster posted that cyclists should be run down
