I don't have the time or the patience to sift through all that crap to see whether or not I believe what he is trying to allegedly improve upon.
No, it's not possible that he deluges his opponents with huge amounts of data for any reason, because it's not very much data.

Why would he or anyone else want people to convert to "his way of thinking"? What would that accomplish?

I am not sure if he is for or against BL's, for or against MUP's, for or against better drivers education to teach how to behave around a cyclist or for or against Complete Streets. Hell JF may not even know about the Complete Streets campaign.
He's generally opposed to BLs and a strong proponent of well-designed and properly maintained bike paths. I'm pretty sure he supports improved driver education with request to treating cyclists, though I don't think he believes it to be a high priority. He knows about Complete Streets. He's well informed on cycling issues, and I've seen posts from him where he wrote about Complete Streets.

Hope this helps.
