Maybe you should just ease up on the guidelines, as community standards in this forum are obviously a little more freewheeling when it comes to things like changing the subject, verbal jousting, and things that may seem off-topic. I really doubt that the world will end if people are allowed to vent about h*****rs, plan pub crawls, or swap the occasional pie recipe in the forum. This isn't Recreational and Family, obviously; and on the other hand, the odd bit of trash-talking that you see here is nothing like the flaming you see day in and day out in Advocacy and Safety every time somebody mentions V******** C******.
For the same reasons, I vote no on FixedGearFoo. Fixed Gear embraces foo. Cradles it, you might say. Besides, we don't want to offend the differently hubbed.
