No, he's still claiming that half a dozen mutually incompatible
statements are "true". So his goalposts are in exactly the same place.
One on the moon the other in the land of fairies.

Having been roundly humiliated, he is now claiming to have 
been trolling all along.

Daft bugger.

Oh yes, I saw that. As we keep telling Toomy, the art of trolling is to
make someone else look stupid.

> Daft bugger.

He is that, I particularly liked the claim that the driver turned into
the path of the cyclist leaving only a narrow gap that a cycle could fit
through (I assume that was the meaning of "there was still sufficient
room for the cyclist to pass along the main road in front of her") and
later claims that the car was waiting perfectly positioned on the
correct side of the white line.

Then to follow it up with an "I was only trolling" excuse, priceless.
Even Toomy would struggle to be that clueless.

That was the cyclist's fault.

Well that's your sex life ruined as well.

I'm very sorry to hear about your accident, which sounds extremely
painful. I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

I am very surprised though to hear that you are a motorcyclist. All the
motorcyclists I meet on the roads seem to share a sense of solidarity
with pedal cyclists, whereas you seem very unsympathetic and hostile to
them.

Pity you weren't riding in a manner that allowed you to stay 
in control.

The Germans have a word for it.

That's rather unpleasant.

It's one thing to be irritated by someone on Usenet, but it's something
else to be pleased that they've been injured.

NM's prang makes an interesting development on the argument 
though, doesn't it? And so timely.

If someone else's getting hurt in an accident is what floats your boat
or simply appears to you as a lucky opportunity to make an ironic point
at their expense, I think you're probably going to find yourself in a
minority, hopefully of one.
