Personal Rapid Transit Fanatics

People still ask me if PRT is for real... here's an answer from Live From the Third Rail Blog:

"Like gold standard crazies, intelligent design ideologues and cold-fusion enthusiasts, Personal Rapid Transit nuts see something the rest of the world doesn't see and think they are visionaries as a result."

How nutty are the PRT fanatics?

Check out the rantings of this PRT fanatic who calls himself "Transportation Enthusiast" on the Seattle Post Intelligencer transit forum:

-----

"ALL SHALL OBEY THE THIRD COMMANDMENT OF TRANSIT FUNDAMENTALISM:

THOU SHALT NOT DEBATE! {thunderclap}

DEBATE IS THE WEAPON OF THE HERETIC GADGETBAHNERS!

THINE ONLY DEFENSE AGAINST DEBATE IS ATTACK!

ATTACK THINE ENEMY'S PROPHETS: ANDERSON, SCHNEIDER!

FILL THE AIR WITH MOCKERY OF THESE EVIL GADGETBAHNERS!

BANISH THEM TO THE FLOATING LOVE POD!

FOR IT IS WRITTEN THAT ALL WHO DO NOT FOLLOW THE HOLY WORD OF WEINERBAHNEN SHALL BE RIDICULED AS CULTISTS AND TOOLS OF THINE EVIL AUTO INDUSTRY

HEAR MY WORDS FOR I HAVE SPOKEN! I AM WEINERBAHNEN! I AM CARTOONIST! I AM ALL KNOWING!"

David Gow, a Seattle-based PRT fanatic gathered up TE's rantings and proudly displayed them on his blog.

"Transportation Enthusiast" even stomped over to the Pharyngula blog comment section to throw a tantrum about me.

Here's another example of Transportation Enthusiast's unique way of winning friends and influencing people.

"So now you're bowing out ,eh? You went in and empowered that f*cking idiot and now you're dropping it on the floor. You are as much a moron as he is."

I hope "Transportation Enthusiast" has installed a spittle guard on his computer.
