The user here is a known car-brained troll. They have a long history of opposing better urban planning.
I had a scroll through their history and couldn’t really find any evidence of trolling - but I might not have gone back far enough. Have you got any examples of them trolling you could point us at?
Yeah I have no idea where that came from. For the record, I own two bicycles, use them frequently and my car use is limited to when there’s at least two people or I need to transport something large/bulky, and I use public transport whenever it makes sense. Which, sadly, isn’t very often.
Motorbike is my main form of transport… but taking a young child on a motorbike is illegal in Australia.
So, it turns out it’s from a different user account, but with the same username, on a different instance. Given how specific the username part is, I would be shocked if it’s not the same human being behind it.
But here’s one thread where they’ve done it before. They deliberately insert themselves into conversations choosing to throw ridiculous straw men around in an attempt to pretend that car-brain is normal and good urban planning practices are absurd. Troll tactics, through and through.
Thanks for following that up, I agree it would be very surprising if they are not the same person. And in the other thread it did appear they were trolling, bringing up the “there’s bigger problems” Bob Katter style argument.
On another note, I’ve got no idea what being car-brained is but I assume its an insult, so please refrain from such language since insulted people don’t argue well.
