It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Huh? Never had this problem in the city at least. And you could try one of this bar end mirrors, they are great.
Maybe you’ve got better roads than I do?
I've got a bar end mirror (iirc mirrcycle like the other comment recommended) and I've got to tighten a hex bolt on it every few weeks to keep it from flopping around like you're describing because I'm flipping it in over the handlebars to carry my bike through doors a bunch. Maybe there's a bolt you can tighten to fix the issue?
Bar end mirrors may also work better on drop bars. For a wider city bar the mirror is on a longer lever, which amplifies the texture of the road. I don’t feel like I need a mirror, but it’s mostly because I haven’t found them to be more useful than using my ears.
