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.

I would have a signficantly shorter lifespan when I get run down by a ford
Apparently bike commuters still come out ahead, judging by the wording.
I read another study that said even downhill MTB riders still come out ahead on average, despite the much higher risk of injuries, so it seems likely that commuters are still better off too.
What happens when you get ran over by a Toyota instead?
Excuses, bring AR while cycling. /s
You joke, but I bet a visibly armed cyclist get messed with a lot less. I usually just opt for a camera though, being visibly armed can get you targeted by people who either want a gun or already have one and are about to do something terrible.
You clearly just need a more heavily armoured bike. You should start running down the fords!
Reactive armor: If they're going to take you out, they're gonna go too!
