Bullshit. You were "set off" after I disagreed with your claim that "Nothing can make bicycling among truck and car traffic safe" - which is a clear and obvious statement of fear.
I then said "That does not mean you must ride on roads. If you lack the competence or minimal courage and are unwilling to learn, keep trucking your pedal vehicle to a bike path and riding back and forth. That's too boring for me, but maybe someday I'll be in the same state. Although I hope not."
Here, I found the relevant thread:

Pointing out your fears and limitations triggered  you. After that, you acted like a pissy fourth-grade girl, and weirdly decided that snarking at nearly every one of my posts was somehow going to punish me - which is just laughable! Instead, it just makes you look petty.
IIRC, all this was before we learned you're afraid to ride even quiet suburban bike trails without a loaded and chambered handgun within quick reach. That's the furthest thing from bravery.
