I still hold to my personal experience over anything posted by anyone who engages in the most pathetic form of internet dialogue- one that allows for such uncivil discourse due to the anonymity afforded by telecommunications.
Ah, the injured innocence of a man who has the choice to wear or not wear a helmet and yet cannot resist sneering and snarking at the rest of us who disagree with him in his forays into what he already knows is an unpleasant, emotionally-charged topic:

Rollseyes indeed. And you're still here. Still taking the piss and apparently unable to learn much -- that's your perogative, and indeed you may not even be able to do anything about it -- but, again, what's it to you? You have the choice to wear a helmet or not. It's obvious that no amount of logic, evidence and reason will affect your Faith. It's also obvious that no one else cares whether you do or not. So, why in $BADPLACE do you care about the topic?

Well, according to the moderator it is apparently to provide a propaganda opportunity for helmet compulsionists. A tactic that has apparently backfired and will continue to do so as those of you arguing that there is any clear evidence that helmets are useful in preventing serious brain and head injuries are by-and-large unable to make the point.
