Itpro,

Since your argument stands on the opinion that too many riders die at the TT (since there can surely be no other moral objection) and it should therefore be banned, taking your argument to the extreme would lead to the banning of all sports (and other activities) that have resulted in deaths.

You have only taken the argument to the extreme in the direction that favours your position. This is intellectually dishonest.

And again, your argument regarding spectators leaves open the question, if spectators were not present would the IOM TT be OK? Would those 2-3 deaths per year be somehow acceptable to you? To me, such a position is morally inconsistent.

On a loosely related note, in the Max Mosely privacy case, you quite rightly argued - in my mind at least - that the acts of consenting adults are nobody else's business but their own. Therefore, the acts of consenting IOM TT riders are nobody else's business but their own. Furthermore, they consent to being watched in the act and the spectators consent to watching and this is nobody else's business but their own.
