One has to wonder what Fastblacks and an enquiry for information have to do with this thread.
Well this current wild goose chase regarding Jim Button clearly has a lot to do with those posting on Fastblacks, innit?

There is no "Fastblacks Scottish contingent." Many of us in Edinburgh and other areas read Fasties.
Isn't that a contingent then?
Quote:
Most of us in Edinburgh know the guys involved in the Fastblacks site,
Must be why most of them post anonymously then
Quote:
unlike here where JD, TDO, Alex and Sussex go to extraordinary lengths to hide their identities
By "extraordinary lengths" do you mean simply not saying who they are?
Just like most on Fastblacks then, and most of the rest of those posting on taxi forums
Quote:
It is a fact that if Jim Button was associated with this site he would most certainly hide any involvement he had, since it would be detrimental to his company and standing if it was thought that he had some connection here.
Why?
And if so, why would he use someone with the name Button as the domain registrant?
Bit of a giveway if it was true, innit?

It is obvious that those involved with this site are too scared to tell us who they are, what they really do or why they do it, for fear of reprisals.
Quite right, but given the rest of your post I'm surprised you provide a rationale for anonymity and cast a section of the trade in a bad light

They do not care what effect their campaigns for derestriction have on anyone.
Like you care what effect restricted numbers has on anyone?

They present a totally biased viewpoint.
Not an appropriate word to use in this context, since it presupposes that we're supposed to be impartial. Perhaps it should be confined to judges, councillors in a quasi-judicial capacity etc.
But if you say we're biased in favour of truth, justice, equality, fairness etc, then go ahead, we can take it.
But since you're presumably in favour of inequality, illegality, unfairness and exploitation then it's a bit rich to accuse anyone of bias?

One only has to read through a few threads to see a pattern emerge.
Wot, you mean like a million and one other discussion forums on the internet?
Quote:
If a point is raised which is contrary to the beliefs of TDO, then one by one in come JD, TDO and Sussex in all their aliases, to disagree and make it seem that the initial poster is alone in holding any contrary view.
A bit like Fastblacks in reverse then?
And what aliases?
Quote:
More and more it becomes apparent that, rather than just present facts and news, TDO creates them on occasion in order to vilify anyone perceived as a threat to their campaign.
Well dozens have put an opposing view, but once presented with the facts and reasoned opinion, they either ingore this or scurry off with their tail between their legs.
So why don't you try to put an opposing view instead of posting this rubbish?
Answer: unlike what you're used to, people on here won't bow and scrape at you and accept John T's 'wisdom' as gospel.

One day they will be outed and exposed for what they are.
If I was you I would worry about that rather than make it a cause for celebration

Pity really, since this forum could have been a neutral zone for all ideas to be considered
Like all the other taxi forums? Not!
But if you could perhaps provide a
neutral view then perhaps I could be persuaded
