I can understand why people RLJ and (apart from the legal implications) I don't have a problem with people doing it, but I genuinely can't understand how people can say that it is mostly safer to RLJ. Perhaps in some instances, but I'd say 90% of the time (as long as you are a good rider who knows the lights/roads/what they are doing) RLJ'ing is no safer or more dangerous than sitting there. I mean seriously, how can sitting at the front of traffic at a red light be more dangerous than illegally jumping it?
