But helmet threads don't get the same treatment. And again, I understand why - and I think the mods around here generally do a very good job - but if I was king of the internet, I'd back down on the helmet thread scrutiny just a degree or two.
It is ironic that the emotional, irrational passion of the helmet proselytizers that polluted so many threads it caused the mods to quarantine such posts and rantings to a single thread is similar to the emotional, irrational passion of the vehicular cyclist proselytizers whose posts polluted so many threads that it caused the mods to quarantine their posts and rantings to a single thread.
