Fair enough. Do think there's a difference between the odd bit of not-that-well-thought-out road use and advocating D-Lock Justice™. But lets not bicker dear.
Anyway, I think in most cases the most important thing isn't the rules of the road - it's being aware of what's going on around you, keeping an eye on peds and cars alike (not to mention other cyclists, bloody nutters the lot of 'em), making eye contact and smiling! A red light run with a grin and a merry wave is easier forgiven than one run with a "cunt!" and a finger up. And I'm not saying that I'll always follow that advice, but hey.
