I thought I'd been here long enough to figure out that the ****head posts and facepalm moments happened during the off-season when people were spending so little time on their bikes they had to fill the void by creating stupid threads on internet forums.
But here we are on the cusp of spring and the level of stupidity has erupted.
What gives?

People are just starting to get back on their bikes as much of the country thaws out.

Obviously I don't spend enough time here on BF, because I have no idea of the idiocy that you speak of.
I suppose I shouldn't be outside riding as much as I am, then maybe I'd be able to keep up on the daily goings-on.

Did I miss something particularly stupid? The recent stupidity level seems to be about normal for BF.

It was fun spinning out on the trail today. You had the roadies that were going to/from someplace that had been training all winter in bibs/short sleeves. Then you had the "thawed" roadies that haven't trained all winter in leg warmers, arm warmers and occasionally wind breakers.
And it was 65° at 9AM. Fun fun

Today was a nice reprive from winter. I exposed as much skin to it as was socially (and practically) appropriate.

Yeah, the weather was wonderful during the race today. Really nice change from last weekend - cold, rainy, nasty.

This temporary warmth is just excellent. I rode with no layers in 53 deg weather, and it felt great.

I wear knee warmers down to about 65. Today it was 67 and I was in a typical short sleeved kit and knee warmers. My tendinitis thanks me.
