Stanley,
Give Forester a break. So he's crotchety. He has lived a full life and accomplished much more than most people have. And I can't think of anyone who has accomplished more for cycling than he has. His work and expertise has educated and trained many, many cyclists, and influenced many more. He has written books, and designed training courses. Are they perfect? Of course not. What books and/or training programs are perfect? Why do you hold his work up to such an absurd standard? Give him a break. He deserves respect and admiration for his contributions, if not agreement. He certainly does not deserve your vile contempt. Hardly anyone deserves that.
