Two threads:

1) Looking into buying first helmet...

2) What hat to wear?

First thread, made it to 23 posts, day 3 or existence before a bare-header couldn't help but shut it down with helmet argumentative stuff known to either lock a thread or get such moved to helmet thread, at post #24 . There were a couple of pro-helmet statements and a couple of anti-helmet statements in among the previous comments before the one which got the thread locked.

Second thread, up to 36 posts and still going, day 5 of existence. Couple of muted pro-helmet posts, and one which should have been contentious enough for a lock or a move -- " I hide my due [sic] rags under a bicycle helmet which really does protect my noggin (and my brain) But if you don't think your brain is worth protecting.... you likely know best. " -- at post #32 .

So, contrary to opinion expressed by ILTB, above, looks like bare-head fanatacism turns out to be way more dooshy here in A&S than the pro-helmet variety.
Yeah, I don't know, mate. Looks to me like both threads went about the same distance before somebody chimed in with the usual nonsense. The difference is that around here pro-helmet nonsense is better tolerated than anti-helmet nonsense. Or maybe just that everyone with a brain knew what you were up to in the first place, Captain Obvious.
