Personally, I can't see any reason for you to "kick off" about someone making a plea for not drink driving. No accusations against anyone were made, so I find your reaction a bit extreme. The fact that the person making the plea doesn't drive is irrelevant. You don't need to be able to drive to have an anti-drink driving opinion.
Also, to think that a plea against drink driving at a pub-meet to be a "thread disruption" beggars belief.

Some people just can't help being twats, let's forgive him.
I'd love to forgive him in person. ; )

This relates to last year. Why revive it this year?
Every damn year, without fail, every damn thread with the word megameet in it ends up disrupted and a number of them have had to be locked. Littlestone, maybe you should lock this one?


(BTW, I might make it tomorrow, there's lots of stoney developments to discuss).
