I have learned and observed (as you have now) one thing over the years ... never comment NEGATIVELY on bike issues or challenge someone posting about bicycle rights supersede all others. I learned the bicycle group on here is often like a small organised group and they are always right and they won't let a comment go ... it's their way or no way in terms of reason.
Let the lashing begin.
Your response basically amounts to “don’t bother me, I don’t care about that”. I don’t criticize you for your interests, and I suspect I’m not the only one who would appreciate if you would refrain from criticizing others for their interests. Not everybody can be working on child poverty, and society can accomplish more than one goal at a time. The posting to which you are replying is unfairly characterizing the response to the delivery van. I didn’t see any “freaking out”, just an observation that the van was operated in a way which disadvantages bicycles and pedestrians, the more vulnerable users of the street, compared to others. What’s really ridiculous is the way people “freak out” when people assert their needs.
