It's not pandering to them - it's simply reflecting the fact that many people are quite stupid or at least can't be bothered to make the effort not to act stupidly. If one dumb fuck doesn't cycle like a twat, and as a result another dumb fuck doesn't get to justify conduct which might kill or maim me, then I'm all for people not cycling like a twat. On that, and many other grounds.
Pandering to them would be tolerating people when they start going all 'cyclists are all this and that'.
Pandering to them would be having it in for shouty camera users because you think they make you look bad.
I don't cycle too much like a twat because I'm not too much of a twat.

^ agreed in some cases, they do seem to go looking for trouble and some overreact to the most minor of infringements.
It's a shame origamist took his videos down as they really were great. I think he's on here, but haven't seen him about for a while...
Origamist moved to Manchester. Was hoping to run into him when I was working up there as apparently we shared some commute, but I think he is one of those 'gets up early' types.

Same logic, innit.
Not really, no. It's a method of transport which I choose to use. The only time it's relevant is whilst I'm cycling, a time when other road users are forced to make a snap judgement call about how to treat me; if/when to pass me, how much room to give me, how fast to pass me etc.
These decisions will be based (hopefully) on their knowledge and understanding of the highway code and in some cases on their previous experiences (both positive and negative) with other cyclists. I'd rather he hadn't just had some cunt on a bike jump a red in front of him or almost knock a granny over on a pedestrian crossing.
It is exactly that logic.
Bigoted Attitudes towards black people all being criminals, Muslims all being terrorists, cyclists all being rogue road users doesn't change by black people stopping committing crimes, Muslims all abandoning terrorism, cyclists all stopping rljing, Dutch people all stopping eating mayonnaise and women getting back in the kitchen. They stop by society deciding that being an ignorant, judgemental bigoted fuck isn't acceptable.
