All good points, but what do we do if someone, to pluck a purely
theoretical example out of the air, uses a signature which states
cycling is dangerous based on figures they have been told are not
comparable (and why) and reacts to a published correction making event
hat spurious reasoning invalid by simply switching to a different and
vastly less accurate set of figures to pursue the same agenda?

What form of words would control the behaviour of someone who comes
here, states a view which is wrong, and reacts to correction by simply
continually asserting the same incorrect view? This is one of the
major problems in the group right now, above and beyond the abusive
and harassing nature of that individual's posts. If it is not
deliberately calculated to provoke anger and aggressive responses for
purposes of further escalation, then it does an extraordinarily good
job of pretending to be so intended.
