Its still "bad" if you sit at every red light holding the clutch in for long periods of time. Its always better to shift to neutral and let go of the clutch if you know you won't be moving for a while.

Okay good because that's what I thought so too or what I've been told by a couple of my friends is that when the clutch is all the way pushed in that it's fine but not holding for TOO LONG.

Always safer to leave it in gear until the very last moment
