It seems to me that those who believe more cycling infrastructure is needed to make the roads safe for riding are the ones who consider cycling more dangerous than it really is. Same with the "If you took the lane here it would be instant suicide" fear mongers.

I actually have no real difference with AlmostTrick , but think he's missing a lot of the "never do" and "always do" posts you're describing.
What are these "never do" and "always do" posts? Sorry if I missed them!
