What name calling? I described the behavior of various
individuals whom I did not even name. If you think that is
name calling, you have a guilty conscience.

That "professional researcher" has an axe to grind on this
subject, and any "tiff" was started by her name calling,
which began each post by inserting her insult of the day
between my first and last name, with said behavior continued
for at least a month straight. As I said, "standard modus
operandi" for the anti-helmet kooks.
BTW, one of the more flagrant anti-helmet dudes hasn't been
heard from very much over the last few years. He pretty much
went away after posting a comment on another newsgroup about
the police, using the time he was arrested for "back
handing" his girlfriend as an example. It took a while for
him to understand why readers might find such behavior to be
just a tad offensive.
