It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

We’re clearly discussing situations where it is legal, as confirmed by the OP in this chain.

If they were switching to the separate topic of areas where it’s not legal then that’s extremely misleading without clarification. But we both know it’s just that they wanted to express their entitled opinions without even bothering to understand the context of the conversation.

Lol you're so full of yourself.

We all SHARE the road, my opinion isn't moot because we use stop signs properly in my city.

I'm not gonna make you use a stop sign properly, I'm not gonna wince when you get crushed under a bus either.

Hope the bus driver is aware of the law, I mean you'd hope a professional driver where they often have bike racks on the front would be aware of such a law.

So using stop signs “properly” to you means in a way that is proven more dangerous to cyclists? Yes I’m sure “sharing” is extremely important to you!

By the way I do stop at stop signs but my behavior has nothing to do with advocating for better and safer policies.
