RLJ (Red Light Jumping). (The definitive bikeradar thread)

velocity boy I wonder whether I should be the type of forum admin that sinks discussions on:

• Red light jumping
• To wear a helmet or not
• Brakes vs no brakes
• Other blatantly flame-war material that really isn't going to make anyone change whatever opinion they already hold

I can't remember where I read it, but on one forum someone had written:
"Arguing on the internet is a bit like taking part in the Special Olympics; whether you win or lose, after the event you're still a retard".

I never mind these debates really, what narks me more than the views people have (all of which have reasonable amount of validity) is usually that the topic gets polarised. I guess I dislike black/white choices more than grey ones.

Why when there is any chance of having a decent arguement about something..? incl Ken Livingston, are we not allowed to talk about it....? are we all supposed to 'agree' on everything
