In fact, we have all defended him. Mike is a zealot, and posts any new
article he can find in which someone who is identified as a mountain
biker, or has a mountain bike with them is killed, injured, or caught
in some legal problem as proof that all mountain bikers are criminals,
or that their death or injury is "Evolution in action". Mike is
interested in a good cause (environmentalism), but does the cause an
amazing disservice by frequently making blanket statements, and flawed
logical assumptions about all mountain bikers.

In short, he is a lot of what is wrong with serious conversation and
debate on the Internet.

Brace yourself Jody, as Mike will likely attempt to defend his
accusations and further impugn Sam's name. He has done so in the past,
and has demonstrated a total lack of class or respect. He will also
call me a LIAR for saying as much, but you can easily find many
examples of his repugnant activities.

Leave it to a mountain biker to defend a criminal mountain biker for
committing a crime.
