TBH, I can do without either. My main problem with this is that there's no way that yelling out the window from a moving car can be done without the driver taking some attention off of the road ahead of him/her. Obviously, that's a distraction that makes it more likely that driver "won't see" someone or something.
But yeah, I'd rather be yelled at than hit, I just don't think that should be the menu. Pretty sure we're in total agreement on this. It really is a small minority of the drivers who do this, it's just that there's no way it's a safe practice and I'm dismayed to see "cyclists" advocating for it here.
