People said the same thing about racism.
Life really is too short. People are gonna be the way they are. Everyday in this forum we "speak" to people that we have no clue about except that they own (or wish to) a fixed gear or single speed bike.
One thread of similarity is not enough to hold such a diverse group of people in complete harmony.
On the internet, just like in real life, you have to be thick skinned. Someone said something bad about your clothes or your bicycle.... What are your options... Shrug it off (they don't know who you are or where you are comming from) or fight back.
This is a place people can come to and whine, and vent and blow off steam. Its anonymous (for the most part, i know some of you are friends) and there is a wealth of knowledge here. If you don't like what someone posts about, you have the same options.
We are different. Which is why some of us lurk and others choose to post every little bit of thier lives here. Thats why i like comming here.
