I'm pretty sure I hit the nail on the head that you're approaching this from a severely personal view without taking into account the fact that other people have different ideas, opinions, and beliefs. That's fairly analogous to a fanatic religious person telling someone that they're inherently evil for not believing in a god. I think the pot is calling the kettle black here.
Trust me. Life is much more enjoyable with an open mind.
Perhaps you have not read the entire thread...specifically my initial response? The only point that I have been trying to make since is that it is sometimes rude to intrude on other people's space uninvited...something that you don't seem to comprehend.
Yeah, perhaps I forgot that this is General Cycling, where I have to treat people with kid-gloves, unlike the more no-holds-barred forums like P&R or A&S, or that perhaps you haven't been around long enough to realize that my style is more bark than bite. If you are offended, my apologies...but it does not change the fact that it is plain downright rude to butt into someone's personal space uninvited.
