I'd be interested to see a reference to the posts that claim helmets are
more dangerous.

Nice selective quoting. I'm curious about why you cut out from my

message the bit that said:

Quoted message said:

Quoted message said:

The only case I have ever seen presented on this group is
that "helmets may be more dangerous", or "there is some evidence
that suggests helmets are more dangerous".

It came just before the bit you quoted.

Alternatively, can you explain to me why the message you've dug up,
which apparently says "there is some good evidence that helmets are
more detrimental than beneficial" is different to where I suggested
previous messages have said no more than that "there is some evidence
that suggests helmets are more dangerous"?

As I stated, I don't think anyone has ever posted to this group that
helmets are definitely more harmful than good, only that there is some
evidence that contradicts the (frequent) assertion that helmets are
definitely and always beneficial. Since it has been stated that this
crops up often enough to irritate some, I'd be interested to see it,
because obviously it has somehow all managed to pass me by.

I think that this is a clear attempt to assassinate you. They want the
photo of your helmet so that the guy in the book suppository knows what
to aim for. I'd say move to another country and change your name

And yes, I would say that it was kind of sarcasm.

No, because sarcasm is by its nature unpleasant, and my comment was
nicely meant with friendly tongue in cheek.🙂
