I don't think there was any call for that kind of response. Perhaps I should have made clearer that when I say I go through red lights, I always stop and give way first, and mostly (though not always) going through red lights for me means proceeding when the lights for the other direction are changing, so I can get clear of the junction ahead of the motor traffic. At any rate, I resent being lumped together with the sort of cyclist who, frex, plough straight through red lights without stopping to check it was safe for all concerned; and I resent being addressed with a level of sarcasm bordering on insult. If you can't hold an argument civilly, I'd rather you didn't say anything at all.
