It does when that person has no idea of the history of the place he or she is in, and the people that make it work, and then makes comments like that one did.

In this particular instance, the post count really does indicate a lack of decorum. On the other hand, there is another new poster in the LD forum that is already well respected by posting good advice in a polite and intelligent way.

Your question goes to the heart of the conflict. There are many who come here with preconceived ideas about cycling that are open to debate. There are no absolutes to cycling but experience counts for a lot. When those new posters want to argue till they are figuratively red in the face because they cannot see fact, and then get personally abusive... well, that poster's credibility disappears.

The poster in question in this particular case made his second comment as a very personal one towards DnvrFox. Ergo, in my estimation, he's back to zero cred.
