Flying over the handlebars and then screaming your head off that the front brake is dangerous is not the behavior of long time cyclists. It's that of idiots who don't know how to ride a bike.
I don't know how you managed to make it to 2000 posts without learning the correct way to stop
isn't to crush the rear brake lever in an iron grip and do a big skid.
Squeeze the front brake lever gently at first then gradually increase your grip. Behold, you just stopped quietly, gently and in less space.
