It's just a shame he lived to tell the tale - next time it might be someone else he puts into their coffin early.
I don't suppose you've ever made a mistake?
humans err.
This guy may well have been driving like a dick and asking for it, but he may well have been unlucky, not had his brain quite in gear and got caught out. I don't think wishing him dead is quite right lol
I hope if I ever cock up (and I have) I don't have threads all around the world hating me! If we were the green pc forum of total safety then I'd expect it, but we're petrol heads and things go wrong, a little sympathy might be nice from time to time.
Anyway I haven't read the thread where it came from, this example may very well have been asking for it in which case he is a dick, but you learn from your mistakes and hope your "learning" mistake isn't a big one, everyone deserves a second chance.
