Agreed, and yes, I did let some comments get to me. Within BF, there is a wide range of forums in terms of supportiveness. Road bike racing is all about HTFU and they will eat their own young if you let them. Clydes and Athenas tends to be much more supportive. In general, the 50+ is usually supportive as well, but not as much so as C&A.
It's been one of several things weighing on my mind, and I was looking for some level of support/camaraderie as I'm dealing with some decisions and how to execute them.
I'm a big boy, I should have known there'd be some negativity with the support. But I still think getting some support from those who are dealing with similar things was worth the downside.
