Victim blaming

It is more fun criticizing

This post did not quite understand this.  However when this post posted an article about his near misses, 2 in 2 days, a reader commented that something must be done for engaging in risky riding behavior despite having high vis.

This post took exception to this saying that he was careful and wants to avoid accidents.  It is painful to be hurt in accident.  No one wants to get hurt and will engage in a behavior that will hurt him. 

So that is an example of victim blaming - being a magnet for vehicles to buzz you by.   I hope it does not happen to the basher that really that there are motor vehicles who hate cyclists and will harm them.  (I hope this is not paronia.
