This seems like a fairly transparent attempt to twist reality in order to banish the very mention of ideas you don't agree with. In other words, bullying behavior, again.

Why not, instead, actually discuss matters of cycling safety and advocacy. You say that's what you want to see here, but you appear to be engaged in something else entirely.
Yet it is you who have not addressed what I wrote, but rather insist on implying some type of bullying behavior as an attempt top sidestep addressing it.

FACT: You, HH and other Foresterites do NOT advocate for cycling in general and have a narrow definition of who you are advocating for...and it isn't all cyclists. Care to dispute that...or am I just a bully for asking?

FACT: We have a forum for Politics and Relgion. You and HH have admitted that vehicular cycling, in your terms, has political and technical aspects. Do you have a problem keeping your politics in the proper forum and discussing the technical aspects here? Or are they so closely interwined that you can't separate the two. If that's the case, please let us know so we can make a contribution to the wiki definition so the rest of the world can be aware of that fact.

The transparency is all your's, and I believe ILTB hit the nail on the head.
