So, I guess we shouldn't be trying to "justify" our sport and I guess it also proves that there ARE lots of people reading the threads, even if they're not posting!

Quite right. If anyone criticises our noble sport, ask them what their interest is. If it's knitting or crochet, you can express your horror about them posessing lethal weapons like knitting needles or crochet hooks, ask them if they need a licence, and then ask them to knit you a TT/MGP scarf or crochet a helmet bag.
