People are messing with you because for some reason mild hazing of new people on this forum is tolerated. Especially if they are so bold as to come on here with opinions about bikes.
Nearly everyone on here is well aware you need a front brake in the UK. People who don't use them cannot be persuaded to start by internet comments, especially if they're still doing it after the Charlie Alliston case. The "debate" about front brakes has been had many times on the forum. That's why no one is taking you very seriously.

mild hazing of new people
I don't think I ever experienced this and probably most members don't.
When someone like @user96935 wades in to anywhere like this, doesn't bother to do more than a perfunctory browsing of posts, totally misjudges the tone of the place and starts telling people off they're not going to be given much of a warm welcome.
Now there's a change of tone....... not much irony to detect in your previous post!
I truly hope that you don't believe the previous stuff you wrote?!
