I had an "interesting" few comments from a US cyclist about a video of mine showing a cyclist riding the wrong way up a slip road.
He went for the "confuse the other person" tactic, going on about straw man, he ended by stating people like me should not be allowed on the road.

Given the recent stat I read of US cyclists where 40% were found to be to blame for the collisions their ended up in with motor vehicles, it sounds like he might be within that stupid-threshold.
I love the type of internet arguer who just looks for ways to dismiss you for breaking some kind of rule of arguments (straw man, ad hominem etc) rather than actually address your points.

40%, how stupid must they be not to realise they are probably going to come off worst in any accident with a large lump of steel.
Isn't the UK percentage really low, 1% to 5%?
He did seem well practised in his comments, probably a trainee lawyer type similar to the RLJ cyclist trying to confuse the bicycle copper.

I got the figure from a cycling podcast (Fredcast I think its called) iirc. The UK figures for causation from the DFT last were 93% "not to blame".
I did once read that Sanfran has a massive problem with RLJs, though I cant substantiate that as either true or a cause.

Well, if you were in a court of law, you would have to abide by the rules of argument!
Anyway, you would say that, you come from Nottingham!
What's wrong with addressing the points by explaining what the logical fallacy is in the argument that is being made?

I had a motorcyclist overtake me at speed on the inside when I was in primary position approaching a junction. I got email notification of a comment saying that the motorcyclist was just filtering legally and what was all the fuss about. When I went to YouTube, the comment had been deleted, but a look at the poster's channel revealed it was an American.

I've had a few Americans leaving me s*** saying that I'm a danger to road users because I'm riding on the wrong side of the road. Dumbasses.
They havent even noticed that the traffic all heads the same way in the lane, either. 
Imagine my surprise to find a new retarted, slightly abusive, comment awaiting moderation on one of my youtube videos yesterday from a certain borisallen. Can it be coincidence that I visited Bent Mikey's links whilst logged in to YouTube?
Now I have a few options, but really I suspect deleting the comment and banning him is the best
Revenge is a dish best served cold but is wasted on those who don't have the intelligence to work out what is happening - so it is out of the question in this case, I think, as the man is obviously deficient in the brain cell department.

When I am watching other cyclists video's and I read abusive comments, I just block the abuser straight away.

Yes it would be a waste of effort. If they've been a d*ck about things then sometimes I leave a "Next time be civil, welcome to blocksville" on their channel comments section so others can see that they've been a pr*ck. Some are even too stupid to delete it
