I also call people out for running reds, although I don't think insults are necessary when doing so.
PeteC-
I agree on the jumping reds thing but not all junctions are the same. Some junctions its safer for a cyclist to go through a red and others, at certain points of the day, there is no need to sit there for minutes on end whilst no one does anything.
As far as the insult, it was hardly an insult. I see my self As a man with a bike. Being a cyclist is something that comes with that.

I moved through a red light after being at a stand still so I could move up to the next set of lights. There was no one for miles and the cars were not moving.
I then get ranted at by some chump with a campag racing hat saying, "Thats why I'm not a cyclist and he is" because I went through a red on an empty road.
I didn't realise there was a code of conduct to be a cyclist, I thought having a bike made you cycle and that in turn made you a cyclist?
Maybe I'm wrong.
